The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A chemist prepares a solution of calcium sulfate (CaSO_4) by measuring out 0.0101 g of calcium sulfate into a 350. mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's calcium sulfate solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer:

2.12×10^-4 MolL-1

Step-by-step explanation:

From m/M= CV

Where

m= mass of substance

M= molar mass of substance

C= concentration of substance

V= volume of solution

Molar mass of CaSO4= 40 + 32 +4 (16)= 136gmol-1

C= m/M ×1/V

C= 0.0101/136 × 1/350/1000

C= 2.12×10^-4 MolL-1
