How do you calculate the percentage of purity? ?

Calculate the percentage of purity in a sample of impure calcium carbonate, if 2.36g of the sample requires 1.49g of Hydrocholric acid for complete reaction?How do you calculate the percentage of purity? ?
Reaction is CaCO3 + 2HClaq ==%26gt; CaCl2aq + CO2g + H2O

1,49/ 36.5 = 0.0408 mol of HCl

So 0.0204 mol of CaCO3 reacted = 2.04g

sp % purity = 2.04/2.36 = 86,5 %
