Being the conjugate base of nitric acid (a strong acid), the nitrate ion is a weak base.
The conjugate base for the equation HNO3 + NaOH -> H2O + NaNO3 is the nitrate ion (NO3-), which is formed when the strong acid HNO3 donates a proton to water (H2O) to form the weak conjugate base NO3-.
No, NH3 is a weak base, as it tends to capture free protons.
Nitrate = NO3-
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.

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.

CN- is a stronger base than NO3-. This is because CN- can act as a Lewis base by donating a lone pair of electrons to a proton, while NO3- cannot readily donate electrons in the same way.
Ammonia is a weak base
Ethanol is a weak base.
