NaNO₃

KNO₃

Ca (NO₃) ₂

Explanation:

The possible cations for the salt. = Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺

The anion for which the formula has to written = NO₃⁻

The salt is of white color.

The possible salts may be:

NaNO₃

KNO₃

Ca (NO₃) ₂

Missy Mae can have one of these salts.

The color of NaNO₃ is from transparent to white.

The color of KNO₃ is white.

The color of NaNO₃ is from white to light grey.
