Answer 1

yes cH3cooh+naoh_____ch3coona+h2

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Aqueous solution of CH₃COONa is basic because -

• When weak acid reacts with strong base, conjugate base of weak acid is formed. Thus aqueous solution of its salt will have basic nature.
• As CH₃COONa is a solution of weak acid (CH3COOH) and strong base (NaOH), it will be weakly basic in nature.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
