  NaCl	HCl	NaOH	Basic

• Salt	Acid used	Base used	Nature of Salt
  Na2CO3	H2CO3	NaOH	Neutral

• Salt	Acid used	Base used	Nature of Salt
  Na2SO4	H2SO4	NaOH	Acidic

• Salt	Acid used	Base used	Nature of Salt
  CH3COONa	CH3COOH	NaOH	Basic

Answer 1

Salt	Acid used	Base used	Nature of Salt
CH3COONa	CH3COOH	NaOH	Basic

Explanation:

NaCl is formed from a strong acid (HCl) and a strong base (NaOH), so it is neutral, not basic. Na₂CO₃ comes from a weak acid (H₂CO₃) and a strong base (NaOH), so it is basic, not neutral. Na₂SO₄ is from a strong acid and a strong base, hence neutral, not acidic. CH₃COONa is formed from a weak acid and a strong base, so it is basic
