Homework Statement


Want to prepare 450.0 mL of a 145 ppm K + ion solution. density of solution is 1.01 g/mL. solution is .728 M in K2SO4. How many mL of the K2SO4 solution need to use?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



(.728 mol/L K2SO4 )(1.01g/mL)(450.0 mL)

i don't know what to do next...help?
