Solution
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) is made up of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as base and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3) as acid
- Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the base and hydrogen carbonate (H2CO3) is the acid which forms sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3).
- Acidic salts are the chemical salts which are formed when there is a reaction between strong acid and weak base.
- Basic salts are the chemical salts which are formed by the occurrence of neutralization reaction between strong base and weak acid.
