Salts produced from a strong base and a weak acid are basic in nature. In this scenario, the strong base (e.g., sodium hydroxide, NaOH) fully neutralizes the weak acid (e.g., acetic acid, CH₃COOH), leading to the formation of a salt and water. The resulting salt solution has hydroxide ions (OH⁻) from the base, imparting basic properties. The pH of the solution will be greater than 7.0. An example is sodium acetate (CH₃COONa), derived from the reaction between sodium hydroxide and acetic acid, which imparts a slightly basic pH to its aqueous solution.
