Name a normal (neutral) salt, acidic salt and basic salt of element sodium. Explain.

Neutral or normal salt of sodium: Sodium chloride (NaCl). It does not hydrolyse in water and so solution of NaCl contains no extra H⁺ or OH^– ions.

Acidic salt of sodium: Sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO₄). It hydrolyses in water to give
strong acid, H₂SO₄.

Basic salt of sodium: Sodium acetate (NaOOCCH₃). It hydrolyses in water to give strong base, NaOH.
