How do you find the concentration?

An aqueous solution of FeSO4(NH4)2SO4.H20 contains 2.88g/dm^3 SO4^2- (sulphate) ions. What is the Fe^2+ (ferrous) concentration in mol/dm^3?

(molar mass of O-16, S-32, N-14, Fe-56)

    Looking at the formula, there are two SO4{2-} ions for each Fe{2+} ion.

    (2.88 g/dm^3 SO4{2-}) / (96 g SO4{2-}/mol) x (1 mol Fe{2+} / 2 mol SO4{2-}) =

    0.0150 mol Fe{2+}/dm^3
