Neither. An acid is a compound that is willing to donate a hydrogen atom while a base is an element that is willing to accept a hydrogen atom.
Acid examples:
HCL
HBr
HSO4
(notice they have hydrogen)
Base examples:
NaOH
Ba(OH)2
Ca(OH)2
(notice they have hydroxide)
Also sodium sulfate is known as a salt.

Is sodium sulfate a base or an acid?
base
What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
What salt is formed by the reaction of sodium hydroxide and nitric acid?
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a base, so when it reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), what we'll see is what is called an acid-base reaction. When an acid reacts with a base, the products are a salt and water. In this case, the product will be sodium sulfate (a salt) and water. The balanced equation is written in this way: 2NaOH + H2SO4 => Na2SO4 + 2H2O
What base neautralizes sulfuric acid?
Any strong base. Example, 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sodium hydroxide plus sulfuric acid yields sodium sulfate, a salt, and water.
Is sodium acidic?
No. The sodium ion is neutral in terms of acidity. Elemental sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base.

Is sodium lauryl sulfate an acid or base or neutral?
It is a salt, which is weakly basic.
Which will sublimate salicylic acid or sodium sulfate?
salicylic acid is the sublimate, the residue is the sodium sulfate
What is the reaction between acid and a sulfate?
Most acids will not react with sulfates as the sulfate ion (SO42-) is a very weak base. However, a strong acid will react with a sulfate ion tor form a bisulfate ion (HSO4-). Here is an example with hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate. HCl + Na2SO4 --> NaCl + NaHSO4 The products are sodium chloride and sodium bisulfate.
What base neautralizes sulfuric acid?
Any strong base. Example, 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sodium hydroxide plus sulfuric acid yields sodium sulfate, a salt, and water.
Is sodium acidic?
No. The sodium ion is neutral in terms of acidity. Elemental sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base.
Is barium sulfate an acid or a base?
Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) is neither an acid nor a base it is a salt
Is Na42SO4 an acid or a base?
Na2SO4, or sodium sulfate, is a salt formed in a neutralization reaction with sulfuric acid (an acid) and sodium hydroxide (a base). So it is neither an acid or base, it is a salt.
What is the ionic equation of sodium carbonate?
nickel sulfate + sodium carbonate -> sodium sulfate + nickel carbonate
