3CaCO3(s)+2H3PO4(aq)1Ca3(PO4)2(aq)+3CO2(g)+3H2O(l)3 CaCO_{3(s)} + 2H_3PO_{4(aq)} \to 1 Ca_3(PO_4)_{2(aq)} + 3CO_2{(g)} + 3H_2O_{(l)}


However, according to the question aqueous carbonic acid is formed not carbon dioxide and water, also solid not aqueous calcium phosphate so the reaction becomes,


3CaCO3(s)+2H3PO4(aq)Ca3(PO4)2(s)+3H2CO3(aq)3 CaCO_{3(s)} + 2H_3PO_{4(aq)} \to Ca_3(PO_4)_{2(s)} + 3H_2CO_3{(aq)}
