Answer:
Carbonate ion is a nucleophile so it would easily react with protons to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. - Now, we know that sodium hydroxide is a strong base and carbonic acid is a weak acid. - Therefore, sodium carbonate is a basic salt because it is a salt derived from a weak acid and strong base.
