Question:

The density of a sodium sulfate solution is {eq}\rm 1.07\ g/cm^3 {/eq}. The solution is {eq}\rm 8.00\% {/eq} sodium sulfate by mass. How many {eq}\rm cm^3 {/eq} of the solution are needed to supply {eq}\rm 4.28\ g {/eq} of sodium sulfate?

Concentrations in Solutions:

There are a number of ways that the amount of solute in a solvent can be expressed. Some concentrations are expressed in weight percent or volume percent. A more precise method is to use molality, which is the moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. The most precise way of preparing solutions is by molarity, the moles of solute per liter of solution.
