Q. Hydrolysis of sodium acetate will give:

Equilibrium

Solution:

Hydrolysis of sodium acetate is given by

$CH _{3} COONa + H _{2} O \rightleftharpoons CH _{3} COOH + NaOH$

Sodium acetate gives weak acid and strong base on hydrolysis. Therefore; the aqueous solution of sodium acetate will be basic in nature.
