In this video, we are going to address these questions: What is percentage purity? How to calculate percent purity? Percentage purity or percent purity tells us how pure a sample is. Percent purity can be calculated by taking the mass of a pure sample and divide it by the mass of the impure sample times 100. Sometimes, the mass of the impure sample is referred to as the total mass of a compound.

We will use a percent purity example in this video to demonstrate how to calculate percent purity:

4.98 g of CO2 is produced when diluted HCl is added to 11.67 g of contaminated CaCO3. Calculate the % purity of CaCO3.

In the question, we are given the mass of impure sample. However, in order to proceed, we need to first figure out how to calculate mass of pure sample. This is a simple stoichiometry problem where we convert from grams of CO2 to grams of CaCO3. Watch the video to see how this calculation is performed and ultimately how it is applied in the percent purity formula.

Pls don't make simple things harder. Just do molar ration.

Sorry please but I thought the formula was mass concentration not just mass?!

I got the mol of CO2 working out to 0.1 mol. Then I got the ratio between CO2 and CaCO3 equal to 0.1 mol for CaCO3. 0.1 mol of CaCO3 is 10g. 10/11.67 ×100 = 85.69%
What did I do wrong?
