An sample of eggshell that weighs 1.0014g and is 51μm thick is titrated with disodium EDTA. A solution of the 1.0014g sample and 30 mL of HCl is vacuum filtered after being mixed. The product of the filtration is added to a 250mL volumetric flask and is diluted by being filled to the 250 mL mark with deionized water. 10 mL of this diluted mixture is mixed with EBT indicator and titrated with 0.05 M disodium EDTA. It takes 12.3 mL of disodium EDTA to notice a change in color. What percent mass of calcium is in the eggshell?
