1. Find the molar mass of sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄):
* Na: 22.99 g/mol (x 2 = 45.98 g/mol)
* S: 32.06 g/mol
* O: 16.00 g/mol (x 4 = 64.00 g/mol)
* Total molar mass: 45.98 + 32.06 + 64.00 = 142.04 g/mol
2. Use the formula: moles = mass / molar mass
* moles = 0.1000 g / 142.04 g/mol
* moles ≈ 0.000704 mol
Therefore, there are approximately 0.000704 moles of sodium sulfate in 0.1000 g of the compound.
