Answer

Answer

Aqueous solution of NaCl contains equal number of H+ and OH- ions,hence it is neutral in nature. On other hand,sodium carbonate is a salt of weak acid H₂CO₃ and strong base NaOH. ... Thus salt solution contains OH- ions. Hence aqueous solution of sodium carbonate is basic in nature.
