To measure the amount of calcium carbonate CaCO3 in a seashell, an analytical chemist crushes a 4.300g sample of the shell to a fine powder and titrates it to the endpoint with 605.mL of 0.100M hydrogen chloride HCl solution. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2HClaq + CO2−3aq + H2CO3aq -> 2Cl−aq Calculate the mass percent of CaCO3 in the sample.
