Technically speaking sodium acetate is a salt formed by the neutralization reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. Compared to acetic acid’s mild acidity, sodium hydroxide is strongly basic thus in aqueous solutions sodium acetate behaves slightly basic. The pH of 0.1 M sodium acetate ranges from 8.6–8.8.
