Answer
A $NaClO$ solution will be basic.
Work Step by Step
1. Identify the strength of each ion in the salt:
$Na^+$: Insignificant acidity.
- Since $Na^+$ is the conjugate acid of a strong base $NaOH$, it has a negligible acidity.
$ClO^-$: Weak basicity:
- Since $ClO^-$ is the conjugate base of a weak acid: $HClO$, it has a weak basicity too.
Therefore, since the stronger ion is the base, the solution is going to be basic.
