Question 8 • Physical Science

Which best represents the reaction of calcium and zinc carbonate open paren ZnCO sub 3 close paren to form calcium carbonate open paren CaCO sub 3 close paren and zinc?

Answer
A
CaCO sub 3 plus Zn rightarrow Ca plus ZnCO sub 3
B
Ca rightarrow ZnCO sub 3 plus CaCO sub 3 rightarrow Zn
C
Ca plus ZnCO sub 3 rightarrow CaCO sub 3 plus Zn
D
CaCO sub 3 plus Zn plus Ca rightarrow ZnCo sub 3

Explanation

Calcium and zinc carbonate are the reactants, so they go on the left: Ca + ZnCO₃. The products, calcium carbonate and zinc, go on the right: CaCO₃ + Zn. This matches choice C, Ca + ZnCO₃ → CaCO₃ + Zn.
