Answer

About $0.095 mol/l$.

Work Step by Step

$752 mg=0.752g$ $n_{Na_{2}SO_{4}}=m\div M=0.752g\div142g/mol\approx0.0053(mol)$ Because $1$ mol of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ contains $1$ mol of sulfate ion, $n_{SO_{4}^{2-}}=0.0053(mol)$ $BaSO_{4}$ is a precipitate in water, so, the net ionic reaction is: $Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_{4}^{2-}(aq) -> BaSO_{4}(s)$ $n_{Ba^{2+}}=n_{SO^{2-}_{4}}=0.0053(mol)$ Because $1$ mol of $BaCl_{2}$ contains $1$ mol of barium ion, $n_{BaCl_{2}}=0.0053(mol)$ $C=n_{BaCl_{2}}\div V=0.0053(mol)\div 0.0558l=0.095(mol/l)$
