Answer and Explanation:

Since the compound sodium nitrate (NaNO₃) is a strong electrolyte, it dissociates completely into ions when is dissolved in water, as follows:

NaNO₃(s) → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

So, the solid compound produces the sodium cation (Na⁺) and the nitrate anion (NO₃-) in the aqueous medium.
