Hey there!

Molar mass Na2SO4 = 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles:

n = m / mm

n = 25 / 142.04

n = 0.176 moles of Na2SO4

Therefore, use the Avogadro constant


1 mole Na2SO4 ------------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
0.176 moles Na2SO4 ------------ molecules ??


0.176 x ( 6.02x10²³ ) / 1

=> 1.059x10²³ molecules of Na2SO4

hope this helps!
