Answer:

The correct answer is b) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When is dissolved in water, silver acetate (AgCH₃COO) is dissociated into ions according to the following equilibrium:

AgCH₃COO ⇄ Ag⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

Where Ag⁺ is a silver cation and CH₃COO⁻ is the acetate anion (an organic anion). As we can see, from one single formula unit are obtained 2 ions (1 cation and 1 anion).

Therefore, the correct option is b) - 2
