Consider the reaction Al2(CO3)3 + 6 HCl  3 CO2 + 3 H2O + 2 AlCl3. %Al analysis was performed by decomposing 1.3922 grams of Al2(CO3)3 with HCl. The decomposing carbon dioxide (MW = 60.0 g), which was collected on calcium oxide, was determined to weigh 1.7696 grams. What is the aluminum (AW = 26.98 g/mol) content in the sample in percentage?
