ITS: CH3COONa --> CH3COO- + Na+ Or if its CH3COONa . 3H2O --> CH3COONa + 3H2O
Thhis is a salt containing 3 water molecules in the crystalline structure; an example is: CH3COONa.3H2O.
The water solution of sodium acetate has a basic pH.
No. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid, however, sodium acetate (CH3COONa) is a salt or ionic compound formed in a neutralisation reaction (proton transfer reaction, or simply put: reaction between an acid and a base). For example: CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) Since the sodium acetate is in aqueous solution (dissolved in water), it will actually have a pH that is slightly basic (ie: less than 7). This is due to the pH of salt solutions of some salts being other than neutral (pH of 7) but that is another question entirely. Hope that this helps.

basic salt
Salts formed from strong acid and strong base are neither acidic nor basic. Salts formed from strong acid and weak base are slightly acidic. Salts formed from weak acid and strong base are slightly basic.
basic salt
TAble salt is neutral, not basic or acidic.

It's a basic salt.
