A student decided to undertake a balance calibration exercise during a lab session involving burette calibration. He found the apparent weight of calcium carbonate in air to be 100 grams and density to be 1.33g/mL. Assume that the standard steel weight used in the calibration has a density of 8.0g/mL and air has a density of 0.0012g/mL. What would be the true mass of the calcium carbonate sample?
