Potassium nitrate salt is neither a base nor an acid. the nitrate ion is a conjugate base of a strong acid (nitric acid). It will not hydrolyse in solution to produce OH- ions.

Why is kc2h3o2 an acid?

Kc2h3o2 is an acid because it contains the acetate ion, which can donate a proton (H+) in a solution, forming acetic acid. In water, the acetate ion can react with water molecules to produce hydronium ions (H3O+) and acetic acid, which makes it an acid.

How can you standardize sodium acetate solution?

Per Skoog and West "Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry": Sodium acetate in glacial acetic acid acts as a base in the same way the that sodium hydroxide does in water. Sodium acetate (0.1 N) can be standarized using dry potassium hydrogen phthalate (0.5-0.6 g) in glacial acetic acid (60 mL).
