Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The salt hydrolysis reaction for CH₃COONa that represents the acidic or basic nature of the solution is the one that produces either H+ ions or OH- ions when the salt is dissolved in water. Option C shows the hydrolysis of CH₃COONa to produce CH₃COOH and OH^-(aq), which makes the solution acidic. Therefore, option C is the best answer.
