Sodium bicarb is alkaline so it is basic
Basic because when sodium borohydride is placed in water, the sodium ion and the borohydride ion split, borohydride abstracts a proton (in the form of H+) from a water molecule.
Sodium oxide is Basic. Remember, most metals form basic oxides where most non-metals will form acidic oxides because of what they produce when placed in water - Sodium oxide will produce Sodium Hydroxide which is a strong base.
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.
Acidic
It is BASIC because, if combined with water, it produces a strong base: NaOH

The solution is (about) neutral as water is, both constuting ions are neutral, neither basic nor acidic.
The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
acidic
Tap water is only slightly acidic
basic. 0-7 is acidic and 7-14 is basic
No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation. Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic. Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids. Alkali metal(group 1 of periodic table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).
