a scientist uses 52g of Na2SO4 for a chemical reaction. how many moles of Na atom does the compound contain a) 0.366 b) 0.732 c) 8.422 d)16.845

b).   0.732

Explanation:

52g Na₂SO₄ x     1 mol Na₂SO₄       x      2 mol Na

                                 =  0.732 mol Na

                           142.04 g Na₂SO₄       1 mol Na₂SO₄

Atomic Mass Units

Na₂ = 22.99 x 2 = 45.98

S     = 32.06

O₄ = 16 x 4 = 64

Na₂SO₄ = 45.98 + 32.06 + 64 = 142.04

There are 2 moles of Na in 1 mole of Na₂SO₄

a graduated cylinder.
