Being the conjugate base of nitric acid (a strong acid), the nitrate ion is a weak base.
The nitrate ion (NO3-) is a so extremely weak base that it will gain no proton at all from water.(That's why HNO3 is a so strong acid that it 'splits' off ALL its protons. in water there is no molecule HNO3 remaining.)
NO3 is not an acid but would be an acid if it had H(hydrogen) in front of it To improve on this: NO3- is the conjugate base of HNO3, which is a strong acid. Because the conjugate base of any strong acid is an EXTREMELY weak base, it could for most intents and purposes be considered neutral as it is highly unlikely to significantly raise the pH of a solution.
Zn(NO3)2 is zinc nitrate and it is a strong electrolyte.
Nitrate = NO3-
It is a weak base

This is based on acids. HNO3 is a strong acid.

NO3- is a pH neutral ion as it s the conjugate base of a strong acid.
Zn(NO3)2 is zinc nitrate and it is a strong electrolyte.

Nitrate = NO3-
It is a weak base
Ammonia is a weak base
Borax is a weak base.
No, NH3 is a weak base, as it tends to capture free protons.
