Clay found in a lake at Bhopal contains 15% by mass moisture along with CaCO3 and non volatile SiO2. This on heating loses a part of its moisture, but CaCO3 is completely converted into CaO. The partially dried sample now contains 7.3% moisture and 51.5% SiO2. What is the mass percentage of CaCO3 in the original sample of clay approximately?
