What has more ions in the formula unit sodium acetate CH3Co2Na or cesium carbonate Cs2Co3 and why?

Answer 1

Cesium Carbonate b'coz when they both ionize, Sodium acetate gives two ions, Na+ and CH3COO- while the carbonate gives three ions, two Cs+ ions and one CO3^2-

Answer 2

Cs2Co3 (Cs2CO3) has one more ion than CH3Co2Na . On dissociation the former gives 3 ions but the latter 2 ions. Acetate ion is monovlent ,the carbonate bivalent. Both the Na and Cs ions are monovalent ion. For the sake of neutralisation of charge caesium carbonate needs one moremonovalent ion.
