Express the concentration of this solution as ppm Na+ ion, at 25 oC: 4.2 x 10−5 M Na2SO4.
Molarity of Na2SO4 = 4.2 x 10^-5 M
= 4.2 x 10^-5 mol / L
molarity of Na+ = 2 x 4.2 x 10^-5
= 8.4 x 10^-5 mol / L
molar mass of Na2SO4 = 142.04 g/mol
concentration of Na+ = 8.4 x 10^-5 mol / L x 142.04 g/mol
= 0.01193 g / L
= 11.9 mg / L
concentration of Na+ = 11.9 ppm
