Many ionic compounds will dissociate into ions in water. To figure out which ones will/won't you need to look at the solubility rules:
(list is from: http://www.files.chem.vt.edu/RVGS/ACT/notes/solubility_rules.html )
acid
an acid
When acids dissolve in water, they dissociate to form hydronium ions. There is not a substance that's forms truly forms hydrogen ions in water.However, for purposes of convenience the hydronium ions are sometimes referred to as hydrogen ions.
Strong Acid
the number of hydrogen ions (charges) given by the acid will be the same as the anions
Electrolytes that release ions that combine with hydrogen atoms are called bases.

Strong Acid
ACIDS form hydrogen ions H+ in water. Bases form hydroxide ions OH-in water
If a substance has more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions it causes the substance to be acidic on the pH scale, and vice versa. Hydrogen ions have a positive charge while hydroxyl has an negative.
