Sodium Sulfate is an ionic compound formed by two ions, Sodium $N a^{+}$ $Na^+$ and Sulfate $S O_{4}^{- 2}$ $SO_4^-2$ .

In order for these two polyatomic ions to bond the charges must be equal and opposite. Therefore, it will take two +1 sodium ions to balance the one -2 sulfate ion. This will make the formula for Sodium Sulfate $N a_{2} S O_{4}$ $Na_2SO_4$ .

I hope this was helpful.
