What is the purity of the limestone in terms of %w/w CaCO3?

Zhongli is a speleologist tasked to analyze the CaCO, content of a limestone
stalactite. A 5.0000-g sample was dissolved in 25.00 mL of 1.350 M HCI, it was
then heated to expel any CO2 formed. The excess HCI was titrated to a
phenolphthalein end point, it used 37.50 mL of 0.1200 M NAOH.
