Homework Equations



I tried using the formula: ( C1V1 + C2V2 ) / (V1 + V2)

The Attempt at a Solution



I keep on getting .0761 M. anything wrong with this? (YES I changed mL to L)

The expression for the resulting formula looks good. Be aware that one formula unit of Na2SO4 , sodium sulfate, has two formula units of Na for each unit of compound.
 
THANK YOU!

That solved my problem!
