How many sodium ions are in the initial 50.00-ml solution of na2co3

From other sources, the given mass of the solute that is being dissolved here is 7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O. We use this amount to convert it to moles of Na2CO3 by converting it to moles using the molar mass then relating the ratio of the unhydrated salt with the number of water molecules. And by the dissociation of the unhydrated salt in the solution, we can calculate the moles of Na+ ions that are present in the solution.

Na2CO3 = 2Na+ + CO3^2-

7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O (1 mol / 402.9319 g) (1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3 - 10H2O) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3-10H2O ) ( 2 mol Na+ / 1 mol Na2CO3) = 0.04 mol Na+ ions present

C) the increase in atmospheric pressure pushes the walls of the balloon outward thus making it  is the answer.hope i you.
