Solution

Basic salts are formed when a weak acid is neutralised by a strong base. Such a salt can dissolve in water to yield a basic solution. Sodium carbonate $({N a}_{2} {C O}_{3})$ is a basic salt as it is formed by the neutralisation between $N a O H$ (strong base) and $H_{2} {C O}_{3}$ (weak acid).
