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.
