The reaction between the hydrochloric acid and the calcium carbonate is: 2 HCl (aq) + CaCO3 (s) ---> CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)
About 90 mL of water and 10.00 mL of 0.5023 M Hydrochloric acid solution was added to a 1.028 g paper sample. Following our procedure the mixture was stirred and then heated just to a boiling to expel the carbon dioxide. Titration of the excess HCl remaining in the mixture required 16.41 mL (corrected volume) of 0.1055 M NaOH. How many milligrams of calcium carbonate were present in the paper sample, and what is the percent calcium carbonate in this sample?
Mass of CaCO3 ___________________ mg
% CaCO3 _________________ %
