Well I make #[Na^+]=1.00*mol*L^-1#

#"Moles of NaCl"=(5.0*g)/(58.44*g*mol^-1)=0.0856*mol#.

#"Moles of"# #Na_2SO_4=(8.2*g)/(142.04*g*mol^-1)=0.0577*mol#.

And thus #[Na^+]=(0.0856*mol+2xx0.0577*mol)/(200*mLxx10^-3*L*mL^-1)#

#=??*mol*L^-1#.

Why did I double the molar quantity with respect to #Na_2SO_4#. Did I make a mistake?
