the mass of the entire sample equals 2.01 gramsthe molar mass of sulfur is 32.07 grams/moleSo, by using cancelation methods we can set up...2.01grams NaSO4 = 1 mole/32.07 gramsGrams will cancel.So (2.01 x 1mol)  divided by 32.07will equal6.267 x 10^-2 moles of Sulphur per 2.01 grams of NaSO4Hope that helped
