A 12.63 g sample of calcium ore was dissolved in HCl and gravimetrically analyzed, through the precipitation of calcium into CaC2O4 · H2O. The precipitate was filtered, washed, dried, and ignited at 500 oC until the weight was constant, giving a final mass of 2.35 grams pure CaCO3 (100.087 g/mol). Calculate the % Calcium (40.078 g/mol) in the sample.
