Yes, CH3COONa (sodium acetate) is soluble in water. It dissociates into ions CH3COO- and Na+ when dissolved in water due to its ionic nature.
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.
CH3COONa + HCl → CH3COOH + NaCl
The name CH3COONa is sodium acetate.
The formula for sodium ethanoate is CH3COONa.
Sodium citrate is a basic salt. It is the sodium salt of citric acid and has a slightly alkaline pH.
No, table salt (sodium chloride) is not basic, it is a neutral compound.
The chemical formula for Sodium acetate is CH3COONa.
Salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral depending on the combination of cations and anions they contain. Salts formed from a strong acid and a weak base are acidic, salts formed from a weak acid and a strong base are basic, and salts formed from a strong acid and a strong base are neutral.
Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) is a basic salt.
