From other sources, the given mass of the solute that is being dissolved here is 7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O. We use this amount to convert it to moles of Na2CO3 by converting it to moles using the molar mass then relating the ratio of the unhydrated salt with the number of water molecules. And by the dissociation of the unhydrated salt in the solution, we can calculate the moles of Na+ ions that are present in the solution.
it tells us of the specific amount of energy required to change the state of one mole of a substance either from solid to liquid or liquid to gas and vice versa without change in temperature
