The chemical reaction between calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) can be represented by the following equation:
\[ \text{CaCO}_3(s) + 2 \text{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{CO}_2(g) \]
In this reaction, solid calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce aqueous calcium chloride, water, and carbon dioxide gas.
\[ \text{CaCO}_3(s) + 2 \text{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{CO}_2(g) \]
