Solution

To calculate the mass of calcium sulfate added to the flask, you need to use the given concentration and volume. The concentration is given in g/L and the volume is given in mL.

First, convert the volume from mL to L because the concentration is in g/L.

1 L = 1000 mL

So, 800.0 mL = 800.0/1000 = 0.800 L

Next, use the formula for calculating mass when you know the volume and concentration:

mass = volume x concentration

Substitute the given values into the formula:

mass = 0.800 L x 0.739 g/L = 0.5912 g

So, the chemist has added 0.5912 g of calcium sulfate to the flask.

However, we need to consider the significant figures in our final answer. The least number of significant figures given in the problem is three (from the concentration 0.739 g/L). Therefore, we should round our final answer to three significant figures.

So, the chemist has added 0.591 g of calcium sulfate to the flask.
