The calcium (AW= 40.08 g/mol) from a sample of limestone weighing 607.4 mg was precipitated as calcium oxalate hydrate (CaC204.H20, FW 146.12 g/mol) and ignited to calcium carbonate (CaCO3, FW= 100.09 g/mol) weighing 246.7 mg. (c) If the precipitate had been ignited at a higher temperature giving calcium oxide (CaO, FW= 56.08 g/mol), what would be its weight?
