Ethanoic acid is a weak acid, while sodium hydroxide is a strong base. When these two substances react, they neutralize each other, forming salt and water. The salt is a compound of the cation from the base and the anion from the acid. In this case, the salt is sodium ethanoate, which is a basic salt.
