If the filtrate in Part II was a clear, dark blue solution, explain how and why the percent

A 5.897 g sample of an ore that contains copper metal is treated with nitric acid followed by the
addition of sodium carbonate, using a procedure similar to the one described in Parts I and II of this
experiment. A mass of 2.235 g of copper(II) carbonate was obtained from this procedure.
Calculate the mass percent copper in the original ore sample.
