Aqueous solution of `CH_(3)COONa` is basic. Explain

Explanation

`to` Given salt `CH_(3)COONa` is obtained by the reaction of weak acid `(CH_(3)COOH)` and strong base (NaOH).
`to` The ionisation `CH_(3)COONa` as follows
`CH_(3)COONa hArr CH_(3)COO^(-)+Na^(+)`
` to` The above salt under go anionic hydrolysis
`CH_(3)COO^(-)+H_(2)O hArr CH_(3)COOH+OH^(-)`
`:.` The equation solution of salt is basic due to greater OHion concentration than H+ ion concen tration.
`:. P^(H) gt 7`
