Limestone consists mainly of the mineral calcite, CaCO 3. The carbonate content of 0.5413 g of powdered limestone was measured by suspending the powder in water, adding 10.00 mL of 1.396 M HCl, and heating to dissolve the solid and expel CO 2: CaCO 3(s) + 2 HCl → CaCl 2 + CO 2(g) + H 2O The excess acid required 39.96 mL of 0.1004 M NaOH for complete titration to a phenolphthalein end point. Find the weight percent of calcite in the limestone.

Question
Limestone consists mainly of the mineral calcite, CaCO 3. The carbonate content of 0.5413 g of powdered limestone was measured by suspending the powder in water, adding 10.00 mL of 1.396 M HCl, and heating to dissolve the solid and expel CO 2:
CaCO 3(s) + 2 HCl → CaCl 2 + CO 2(g) + H 2O
The excess acid required 39.96 mL of 0.1004 M NaOH for complete titration to a phenolphthalein end point. Find the weight percent of calcite in the limestone.
