Question

The basic nature of ${CH}_{3}COONa\left(aq\right)$ is due to hydrolysis of ${CH}_{3}CO{O}^{-}$ ion. If true write 1, else write 0.

Answer 1

${CH}_{3}COONa\left(aq\right)$ is a weak acid-strong base salt. So only the anion will be hydrolysed and because of this it acts as base in solution as

${CH}_{3}CO{O}^{-}+H_{2}O\to C{H}_{3}COOH+O{H}^{-}$
