Answer:
[Na⁺] = 1.99 M
Explanation:
Na₂S is a ionic salt that can be dissociated.
Dissociation equation is:
Na₂S → 2Na⁺ + S⁻²
1 mol of sodium sulfide can give 2 moles of sodium cation.
We convert moles of salt: 78 g . 1mol / 78.06 g = 0.999 moles
As ratio is 1:2, after dissociation we have (0.999 . 2) = 1.998 moles of Na⁺
Molarity is a type of concentration.
It indicates moles of solute in 1 L of solution and in this case, we have 1 L as final voulme.
Moles of Na⁺ are 1.998 moles. Then molarity (mol/L) is:
M =1.99 mol/L
