    1. Start by calculating the molecular weight of Na2CO3. You have 15 grams, you can calculate the number of moles from the molecular weight and the 15 grams.

    2. Formula Units are the same as moles in this case.

    3. You can look at the molecular formula to tell how many Na+ ions there are *per mole*

    4. Same as #3
