The answer is NaSO4 because one mole sodium sulfate Na2SO4 dissociates into two moles of sodium ions Na + and one mole of sulfate ions SO42-.

When one mole of ammonium chloride NH4Cl dissolves in water, it dissociates into one mole of ammonium ions NH4+, and one mole of chloride ions Cl-.

Also 1 mol NH4NO3 produces 1 mol NH4 + ions and 1 mol NO3 - ions, while 1 mol NaCl dissociates into 1 mol Na + ions and 1 mol Cl - ions.

Sucrose does not ionize in water, therefore, sodium sulfate NaSO4 produces the greatest number of ions among the given compounds.
