Solution
The correct option is E II and III only The salt formed from the neutralization reaction between aqueous solutions of NaOH and HC2H3O2 is II. basic and III. soluble. The salt formed is sodium acetate NaC2H3O2. It is a basic salt. Hydroxide ion concentration is greater than hydrogen ion concentration. Sodium acetate on hydrolysis gives strong base NaOH and weak acid acetic acid. Acetic acid is partially dissociated and NaOH is completely dissociated.
