To calculate the volume of the solution, we first need to convert the amount of calcium sulfate in millimoles to moles:

425 mmol x (1 mol / 1000 mmol) = 0.425 mol

Next, we need to use the molarity of the solution (0.00228 mM) to calculate the volume:

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution

0.00228 mM = 0.425 mol / volume

volume = 0.425 mol / 0.00228 mmol = 186.4 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 186.4 liters.
