Solution

The correct option is D CH3COONa

Basic salts are formed from the neutralisation reaction between a strong base and a weak acid.

Here, sodium acetate (CH3COONa) is a basic salt because it is formed from the reaction between sodium hydroxide which is a strong base (NaOH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) which is a weak acid. The reaction involved is given below:

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq)CH3COONa(aq) +H2O(aq)

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an acid, sodium chloride (NaCl) is a neutral salt and tin chloride (SnCl2) is an acidic salt.
