Question 4

What products form when calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid?

The right answer is the one marked above.

CaCl2, H2O and CO2. CaCO3 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2.

Hydrogen comes from a metal reacting with an acid, not from a carbonate. CaO and CO2 are what you get by heating CaCO3.
