A sample containing calcium was analyzed by gravimetry, converting all calcium to calcium oxalate monohydrate (CaC2O4 • H2O). The sample weighing 0.2654 g was dissolved by adding 6M HCl, and then ammonium oxalate solution was added to precipitate all the calcium. The precipitate was suction filtered and dried in an oven at 95 °C for one hour. The solid obtained weighed 0.3216 grams. Calculate: A) The percentage of CaCO3 B) The percentage of Ca  C) The percentage of CaO
