Use the following atomic masses (in g/mol): Mg = 24.31; O = 16; Ca = 40.08; C = 12.01; Na = 23; H = 1; N = 14.01; S = 32.06; Cl = 35.45;   2.) Limestone consists chiefly of mineral calcite (CaCO3). The carbonate content of 0.5413g of powdered limestone was measured by suspending the powder in water, adding 10mL of 1.392M HCl and heating to dissolve the solid and expel CO2. The excess acid required 39.96mL of 0.1004M NaOH for complete titration to a phenolphthalein end point. Find the % wt of calcite in limestone.
