0.000132 g of hydrated sodium borate (Na₂B₄O₇ · 10 H₂O)

Explanation:

First we need to find the number of moles of sodium borate (Na₂B₄O₇) in the solution:

molar concentration = number of moles / volume (L)

number of moles = molar concentration × volume (L)

number of moles of Na₂B₄O₇ = 0.1 × 0.5 = 0.05 moles

We know now that we need 0.05 moles of hydrated sodium borate (Na₂B₄O₇ · 10 H₂O) to make the solution.

Now to find the mass of hydrated sodium borate we use the following formula:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of hydrated sodium borate = 0.05 / 381 = 0.000132 g
