HCOOK is basic,nutral,or acidic salts
HCOOK is salt of week acid and strong base, which on dissociation in water yields, HCOOH and KOH.
HCOOK + H2O HCOOH + K+ + OH-
As, HCOOH is a week acid and KOH is strong base therefore KOH thus formed would dissociates completely to furnish OH- ions hence aqueous solution of HCOOK is basic in nature.
