The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A chemist adds 0.85 L of a 0.0050M calcium sulfate to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer: The mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in L

moles of [tex]CaSO_4[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{136g/mol}[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

[tex]0.0050=\frac{x}{136\times 0.85}[/tex]

[tex]x=0.58 g[/tex]

Therefore, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate the chemist has added to the flask is 0.58 g
