Question

this passage describes a chemical reaction. read the passage. then, follow the instructions below. rainwater that contains more acid than normal is called acid rain. the additional acid in the rainwater can damage stone buildings and statues by speeding up erosion. for example, when acid rain falls on a marble statue, sulfuric acid (h₂so₄) in the acid rain interacts with calcium carbonate (caco₃) in the marble, forming calcium sulfate (caso₄). calcium sulfate washes away easily in rain, so details in the statue can wear away. complete the table to classify the substances in this chemical reaction. substance reactant product calcium carbonate (caco₃) calcium sulfate (caso₄) sulfuric acid (h₂so₄)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants

The reactants are the substances that undergo a chemical - change. Here, sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) and calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$) react.

Step2: Identify products

The products are the substances formed as a result of the chemical reaction. In this case, calcium sulfate ($CaSO_4$) is a product. Additionally, carbon dioxide and water are also formed in the reaction of sulfuric acid and calcium carbonate (not shown in the table but from the chemical reaction $H_2SO_4+CaCO_3 = CaSO_4 + H_2O+CO_2$). But according to the table requirements, we focus on $CaSO_4$.

Answer:

Substance	Reactant	Product
Calcium sulfate ($CaSO_4$)	No	Yes
Calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$)	Yes	No
