Answer:

572 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of an element or compound

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ is the sum of the products of the molar masses of the elements by the number of atoms in the compound

molar masses of each element making up lithium sulphate

Li - 7 g/mol

S - 32 g/mol

O - 16 g/mol

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ - (7 g/mol x 2) + ( 32 g/mol x 1) + ( 16 g/mol x 4 )

molar mass = 110 g/mol

mass of 1 mol of Li₂SO₄ is 110 g

therefore mass of 5.2 mol of Li₂SO₄ is - 110 g/mol x 5.2 mol = 572 g

mass is 572 g
