The method of preparation for an aqueous solution calls for 5.0 grams of anhyrdrous sodium sulfate, Na2SO4. The sodium sulfate available is crystalline hydrated sodium sulfate, NaSO4 * 10 H2O. How many grams of this hydrated compound should be used in place of the anhydrous compound when preparing the reagent? FW of Na2SO4 is 119.05 g/FW, MW of water is 18.02 g/mol. Hint: the number of moles of crystalline hydrated sodium sulfate must equal the number of moles of anhydrous sodium sulfate
