The calcium from a sample of limestone weighing 607.4 mg was precipitated as CaC2O4 (128.10 g/mol) and ignited to CaCO3 (100.09 g/mol) weighing 246.7 mg. Calculate the % Ca (40.08 g/mol) in the sample.

The calcium from a sample of limestone weighing 607.4 mg was precipitated as calcium oxalate and ignited to calcium carbonate weighing 246.7 mg. a. Calculate the % Ca in the sample.

You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3 to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the limestone in hydrochloric acid, which gives a solution of calcium chloride. Then you precipitate the calcium ion in solution by adding sodium oxalate Na2C2O4. The precipitate is calcium oxalate, CaC2O4. You find that a sample of limestone weighing 128.3 mg gives 140.2 mg of CaC2O4. What is the mass % of calcium in the limestone?
