A 1.268 g sample of a metal carbonate, MCO33, was treated 100.00
mL of 0.1083 M H22SO44, yielding CO22 gas and an aqueous solution
of the metal sulfate. The solution was boiled to remove all of the
dissolved CO22 and then was titrated with 0.1241 M NaOH. A 71.02 mL
volume of the NaOH solution was required to neutralize the excess
H22SO44.
