No: Any aqueous solution with a pH value below 7 at standard temperature and pressure is acidic, the opposite of basic.
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is a metal carbonate that is soluble in water. It forms a basic solution upon dissolving in water.
Sodium carbonate is a basic compound because it produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water, increasing the pH of the solution.
Iron chloride is acidic because some of the water molecules in its hydration shell deprotonate. Sodium carbonate is basic because its the salt of a weak acid. Thus, some carbonate ions take protons from water, creating basic hydroxide ions.
Copper carbonate is a basic salt because it contains a metal cation (copper) and a basic anion (carbonate). It can react with acids to form salts and water.
Limestone is made of calcium carbonate, which is a base when dissolved in water

MgCO3 (Magnesium Carbonate) is a metal carbonate and reacts with an acid to produce salt + water + CO2. Thus, it is weakly basic.
Iron chloride is acidic because some of the water molecules in its hydration shell deprotonate. Sodium carbonate is basic because its the salt of a weak acid. Thus, some carbonate ions take protons from water, creating basic hydroxide ions.
Copper carbonate is a basic salt because it contains a metal cation (copper) and a basic anion (carbonate). It can react with acids to form salts and water.
No. The carbonate ion is basic.

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) dissociates in water to form sodium ions (Na+) and carbonate ions (CO3^2-). The carbonate ion can react with water to form bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and hydroxide ion (OH-), which makes the solution basic. The presence of hydroxide ions increases the pH of the solution, leading to a basic nature.
K2CO3, potassium carbonate, is a salt that is basic in nature. It forms a basic solution when dissolved in water because it releases hydroxide ions which can accept protons to form water.
At the simplest, definitional level, sodium carbonate is a basic salt because a solution of it in pure water has a pH value greater than 7. The underlying reason is that sodium hydroxide is a strong base, with complete ionization in water, but carbonic acid is only a weak acid with slight dissociation in water. Therefore, when a large concentration of carbonate ions is introduced into water by dissolving sodium carbonate in the water, most of the carbonate ions undergo at least the following reaction: CO3-2 + H2O -> HCO3-1 + OH-1. This makes the solution more basic.
Calcium carbonate is a basic substance, so its pH level is typically around 9-10 when dissolved in water.
Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a basic salt because it contains the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) which can accept protons to form hydroxide ions in water. This makes the salt alkaline or basic in nature.
