Question

The aqueous solution of CH3COONa is

basic in nature/turns red litmus paper

blue . Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sodium acetate (CH3COONa) is a solid-state salt that can not be used in anhydrous or liquid form as an acid or base. Now, with NaOH being a strong base and CH3COOH being a weak acid, the resulting solution is fundamental in nature. Sodium acetate is therefore essential in an aqueous medium.

CH3COONa is a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong base(NaOH) and a weak acid (CH3COOH). Thus, it is a weak acid strong base salt.

Hence, it is basic in nature.

Also, we know that red litmus paper turns blur in a basic solution.
