Yeah i got a very low value, i got something around 4% i guess. I don't know whether it was actually the case or i messed up in this question.
What's yours?
As far as i remember, they had mentioned "Both FB5 and FB1 are from the same limestone", or something similar, right before asking which method is less accurate. How can % purities be so different? Many here got values like 0.5% - 1%. BTW, did u ensure that the flame was blue? CaCO3 has a very high decomposition temperature of about 800 degrees u know.

Titre was 25.6 (may be but it was in 25s), percentage in first 88%, mass loss was hardly any... I heated it for 1 hr exact ad high flame so high that event crucible went black but all I could get was loss of 0.05g so percentage in 2nd was around 6% for me..!! Ions were very easy Mg, Al and So4 or So3(although I wrote So4, forget to wrote so3) Al was discarded when they further said to mention a test(it was adding NaOH), in second part ions were Zn, I and Co3.

Paper was difficult both Q1 and Q2 were tough... MUCH DIFFICULT than variant 33..!! :/ :/ :/ Umeed ha acha ajaenga INSHALLAH!!

The loss in mass was low, some people i know even got like 2%. My loss in mass was o.o6 i guess.
