Calcium carbonate is a white solid with a density of 2.71 g/cm3. It reacts readily with an acid to produce gaseous carbon dioxide.B. Gray powdered zinc metal reacts with purple iodine to give a white compound.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Physical property is defined as the property which can be measured and whose value describes the state of physical system.

For Example: State, density etc.

Physical properties enlisted in question of calcium carbonate are:

• Calcium carbonate is a white solid.
• Calcium carbonate has a density of $2.71 g/cm^3$

Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which is observed during a reaction where the chemical composition identity of the substance gets changed.

Chemical properties enlisted in question of calcium carbonate are:

• Calcium carbonate reacts readily with an acid to produce gaseous carbon dioxide.
