because sodium acetate is basic in nature and neutralises it

can you please provide detailed explanation?

Due to common ion effect
explanation?
Acetic acid being a weak acid ionises to a small extent
CH3CooH ↔️ CH3COO- +. H*
To this solution when we add strong base CH3COONa it ionises completely
CH3COONa ➡️ CH3 COO- + Na*
As a result the concentration of CH3COO- ions increases and by Le Chattelier's principle the dissociation equilibrium shifts backwards and dissociation of acetic acid is further suppressed.
