Washing soda is known as basic salt because it is basic in nature.

Explanation:

  • When it is dissolved in water, it starts to act like an alkali.
  • It dissociates into two substances which is a weak acid called carbonic acid and a strong alkali which is called sodium hydroxide.
  • Therefore the sodium hydroxide which is present in the solution gets the motive to react with metals like the aluminum which result in the elimination of the hydrogen gas.
  • Therefore it can be successfully concluded that it pH is above 10 and hence it is called as a basic salt.
