Just looking at the formula's first letter will tell you whether it is a base or not. If it has OH in it, it's a base.
As you state NaCl is the salt of a strong acid and a strong base and should have a neutral pH. However, several sites make the claim that the pH is in the range of 4.5-5.5. It's possible for a neutral solution to have a pH of something other than 7. pH is dependent on temperature, for example, but not that strongly; I can't find the exact ionization constant for water at 37oC, but by interpolation it's going to be somewhere around 13.6. It may be that the NaCl is promoting the dissociation of water to get the ionization constant to around 10; one of the statements in the discussion makes this claim.
The equation involved is a neutralization reaction. HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O In this reaction, acid and base react to produce a salt.
An example is:2 KOH + H2SO4 = K2SO4 + 2 H2O
Triethylamine is an organic base with the formula N(CH2CH3)3.

KB = [NH4+].[OH-] divided by [NH3] in case of equilibrium. All concentrations are IN watery (aq) dilution. KB = 1.7*10-5 (at 25 oC)
An acid dissociation constant, Ka, (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction known as dissociation in the context of acid-base reactions. The equilibrium can be written symbolically as: HA A− + H+,
extent of ionization in water. http://www.chemistryexplained.com/A-Ar/Acid-Base-Chemistry.html
Acid
The extent of its ionization in aqueous solution
weak acid
water is responsible for ionization of acid and base, without water the terms acid and base are meaningless.
The information an acid or base equilibrium constant gives is that the acidity and base levels are equal to the equilibrium constant multi[plied by the water concentration.
It is neither a base nor it is basic It can't be said an acid but of course it is acidic in nature..................... P2O5+3H2O=2H3PO4 Thus it turns blue litmus solution red
The constant factor that each value in an exponential decay pattern is multiplied by the next value. The decay factor is the base in an exponential decay equation. for example, in the equation A= 64(0.5^n), where A is he area of a ballot and the n is the number of cuts, the decay factor is 0.5.
The equation is acid + water equalizes into hydronium and conjugate base, and Ka (acid dissociation constant) is products divided by reactants. If the Acid = (H+)(base)/Ka, then the acid concentration is (H+)(H+)/Ka, or (0.0001)(0.0001)/0.0000001, which equals 1M.
