Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of dissolution , the salt or the strong electrolyte breaks down into its corresponding cations and anions .

hence , from the question ,

( a ) sodium nitrate , the chemical formula is NaNO₃ ,

Hence , in water the ions will be Na ⁺ and NO₃ ⁻ .

( b ) sulfuric acid , the chemical formula is H₂SO₄ ,

Hence , in water the ions will be H⁺ and SO₄²⁻

sodium carbonate the chemical formula is Na₂CO₃ ,

Hence , in water the ions will be Na ⁺ and CO₃⁻

sodium hypochlorite , the chemical formula is NaClO ,

Hence , in water the ions will be Na ⁺ and ClO⁻ .
