Question

Which salt will produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?

Answer 1

Depending on the acid–base properties of its component ions, however, a salt can dissolve in water to produce a neutral solution, a basic solution, or an acidic solution. 

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:-

In chemistry, an answer is a unique form of homogeneous aggregate composed of  or greater substances.

Explanation:-

A question has been provided to us

We need to find the solution to the question

The salt that would produce a basic solution when dissolved in water would be answer $CH_3COONa$. The ions produced by these four salts in water, the acetate ion from sodium acetate is the most basic ion. In water, the acetate ion will react reversibly. This reaction will generate basic hydroxide anions. When the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution is high, the pH is also high. Therefore, a basic solution would be formed.

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is $CH_3COONa$.
