text: ## Calculating a mass to be weighed
  
  ### For a mass concentration
  
  Example: prepare a 100 mL solution of 1 mg/L of Na+ with NaCl salt
  
  1 mg NaCl ≠ 1 mg Na+
  
  MNaCl = 58.44 g/mol ; MNa = 22.99 g/mol ; MCl = 35.45 g/mol $\large \Rightarrow \% M{_{Na}} = \frac{M{_{Na}}}{M{_{NaCl}}} = 39.3\%$
  
  It can be seen here that in 1 mg of NaCl, there is in fact only 0.39 mg of Na+. This ratio must therefore be taken into account when calculating the mass of salt to be weighed in order to obtain a concentration of 1mg/L of Na+.
  
  #### Calculating the mass of salt to be weighed
  
  $\LARGE m{_{salt}} = \frac{M{_{salt}}}{M{_{element}}} \times C{_{f}} \times V{_{f}}$
  Where
  msalt = mass of salt to be weighed (in g)
  Msalt = molar mass of salt (in g/mol)
  Melement = molar mass of the element to consider (in g/mol)
  Cf = final mass concentration (in g/L)
  Vf = final volume (in L)
  ##### Mass of NaCl to be weighed
  
  $\large m{_{NaCl}} = \frac{58.44}{22.99} \times 10{^{-3}} \times 0.1 = 2.54 \times 10{^{-4}}g = \mathbf{{\color{DarkGreen} 0.254mg}}$
  
  Thus in order to obtain a 100 mL solution of 1mg/L of Na+, we will need to weigh 0.254 mg of salt. In reality, weighing 0.254 mg of salt is practically impossible because the most precise scales have a precision of 0.1 mg. We will need to prepare a more concentrated solution and then dilute it in order to obtain the desired concentration level of Na+.
  
  ### For a molar concentration
  
  Example: prepare a 100 mL solution of 1 mol/L Na+ with Na2SO4 salt
  
  Pay attention to the ratio between the number of moles of salt and of ion.
  Here 1 mole of Na2SO4 contains 2 moles of Na+
  $\LARGE m{_{salt}} = \frac{n{_{salt}}}{n{_{element}}} \times C{_{f}} \times M{_{salt}} \times V{_{f}}$
  Where
  msalt = mass of salt to be weighed (in g)
  Msalt = molar mass of salt (in g/mol)
  nsalt/nelement = molar ratio between the element and the salt
  Cf = final molar concentration (in mol/L)
  Vf = final volume (in L)
  
  Thus, the mass of salt to be weighed in order to prepare a 1 mol/L solution of Na+ is :
  
  $\large m{_{NaCl}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 142.04 \times 0.1 = \mathbf{{\color{DarkGreen} 7.1g}}$
