Question

A limestone sample weighing 400 mg was dissolved in acid treated with excess
sodium oxalate. The solution was made basic and the resulting calcium oxalate
was filtered, washed and redissolved in dilute acid. This solution required 14.0
mL of 0.00865 M KMnO4. What is the % Ca of the limestone.

CaC2O4(s) + 2H+ ⇌ Ca2+ + H2C2O4
5H2C2O4 + 2MnO4- + 6H+ ⇌ 10CO2 + 8H2O + Mn2+
