Write the word and balanced chemical equation for the following reaction:

Sarah added some sulphuric acid acid to a piece of calcium carbonate. She immediately noticed some bubbles forming and when she returned later there was a white precipitate and a clear liquid.

sulphuric acid + calcium carbonate --> carbon dioxide + water + calcium sulphate


H2SO4 + CaCO3 --> CO2 + H2O + CaSO4
