Detailed Solution

When calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) it produces the products as calcium sulphate along with water and carbon dioxide. The reaction equation for the reaction is as below,

CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2

The carbon dioxide gas that is produced in the reaction turns limewater milky.
