1. Identify the elements and their atomic masses:
* Na (Sodium): 22.99 g/mol
* S (Sulfur): 32.07 g/mol
* O (Oxygen): 16.00 g/mol
2. Determine the number of atoms of each element in the compound:
* Na: 2 atoms
* S: 1 atom
* O: 4 atoms
3. Calculate the molar mass:
(2 x 22.99 g/mol Na) + (1 x 32.07 g/mol S) + (4 x 16.00 g/mol O) = 142.04 g/mol
Therefore, the molar mass of Na₂SO₄ is 142.04 g/mol.
