The concentration of sodium and sulphate ions are [[tex]Na^+[/tex]] = 0.4 M, [[tex]SO_4^2-[/tex]] = 0.2 M
Explanation:
The molar concentration is defined as the number of moles of a molecule or an ion in 1 liter of a solution.
In the given solution, the concentration of the salt sodium sulphate is 0.2M. So, 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate is present in 1 liter of solution.
Assuming 100% dissociation,
1 molecule of sodium sulphate gives 2 ions of sodium and 1 ion of sulphate.
So 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate will give 0.4 moles of sodium ions and 0.2 moles of sulphate ions.
