Titration of a weak acid against a strong base gives a PH higher than 7 (alkaline)

Citric Acid is a weak acid with a chemical formula C6H8O7. It can occur in two forms – monohydrate or water-free (anhydrous). This acid is usually found in citrus fruits like lemons, oranges etc. It is considered as a tribasic acid.

therefore when it Hydrolyses with Sodium hydroxide [NaOH] a strong base the resulting solution contains more OH- than H+ ions; Hence alkaline i.e [pH higher than 7]. therefore a solution of a base i.e BASIC will be produced

Weak acid + strong base = basic salt
