The common name of Calcium carbonate may be Chalk, but chemically that's not true, if it is the blackboard writing chalk. This chalk is actually Calcium sulfate, which is mistaken as Calcium carbonate, as its manufacturing process uses Calcium carbonate.So, I think the common name for chalk should be Limestone, which is the most common mineral form of this compound.
how many tums tablets each 250mg calcium carbonate would it take to neutralize a quart of vinegar 0.83m acetic acid
Calcium atom will generally lose two electrons to form Ca2+ ions. Calcium will not accept (gain) electrons.
The sum of charges for any ionic bond equals zero. Take the example calcium carbonate - Ca2+CO32-. If you calculate 2+(-2), you get 0 as an answer. This proves that the charges on an ionic compound cancel out, to form an overall neutral substance.

Calcium usually exists as calcium carbonate in pill form and when this compound reacts with the acids in your stomach, carbon dioxide is released. That CO2 is your gas.
Calcium is a chemical element, you typically take it in the form of the salt Calcium Carbonate. It is not a vitamin. It is typically referred to as a mineral.

Calcium hydroxide can absorb carbon dioxide and become calcium carbonate; by heating calcium carbonate is transformed in calcium oxide. The time for these reactions depends on the temperature, pressure, volume of the reactants, amounts of reactants, the physical appearance, sometimes stirring etc. Please read a chemical kinetics book for more details and understanding of the chemistry.
Corals/coral reefs are benthos that build up layers of calcium that take a long time to form.

I would say it is probably not unsafe to take them, in fact, I highly doubt that Calcium would ever go bad (Calcium Carbonate is basically chalk). According to FDA standards, the expiration date is the point at which 90% of the medication still remains- meaning if anything, it will be less effective than it would have been.But really, some new calcium supplements should cost $2.00- just take generic tums (Calcium Carbonate). Look for them in the antacid section!
They are deposits of calcium carbonate formed on the floor of a cave by the dripping of calcareous water. Can take thousands of years to 'grow'
It is impossible to indicate an amount suitable in all cases.
Is it Calcium carbonate which neutralizes the acid.
