#0.09# moles of sodium sulfate or #~~12.8# grams of sodium sulfate.

Explanation:

We can find the amount of sodium sulfate by taking the concentration of the solution, and then multiplying by the volume.

The equation is:

#n=c*v#

  • #n# is the number of moles of substance

  • #c# is the concentration of the solution in terms of molarity

  • #v# is the volume, preferrably in liters

So here, we get:

#n=(7.5 \ "mol")/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)"L")*0.012 \ color(red)cancelcolor(black)"L"#

#=0.09 \ "mol"#

Now, if we want to find the amount of mass of this sample, we simply multiply by sodium sulfate's molar mass and get:

#0.09color(red)cancelcolor(black)"mol"*stackrel("molar mass of" \ Na_2SO_4)overbrace((142.04 \ "g")/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)"mol"))~~12.8 \ "g"#
