When a 1.25-gram sample of limestone CaCO3 was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, 0.44 gram of CO2 was generated.?

If the rock contained no carbonate other than CaCO3, what was the percent of CaCO3 by mass in the limestone?

CaCO3 + 2HCl ----> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Sure: 0.44 g of CO2 is how many moles of CO2? Then, what is the ratio of CaCO3 to CO2? And thus how many moles of CaCO3 do I have? How many grams?
