d (sea water) = 1,022 g/mL.

V (sea water) = 1 L = 1000 mL.

m (sea water) = d (sea water) V (sea water).

m (sea water) = 1,022 g/mL · 1000 mL.

m (sea water) = 1022 g = 1,022 kg.

m (solvent) = m (sea water) - m (total mass of ions).

m (solvent) = 1022 g - 35,067 g.

m (solvent) = 986,93 g = 0,98693 kg.

c (magnesium ion) = 0,054 mol/L.

b (magnesium ion) = 0,054 mol : 0,98693 kg.

b (magnesium ion) = 0,0548 mol/kg = 0,0548m. b (sulfate ion) = 0,02893 mol : 0,98693 kg. b (sulfate ion) = 0,0293 mol/kg = 0,0293m.
