Items made from Calcium Carbonate will fizz when a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on them. Ceramic items will not fizz when a solution of dilute hydrochloric acid is placed on them.
The simplest test to distinguish between calcite and dolomite, or between calcite and any other mineral for that matter, is the optical properties test. Simply put, calcite is the only mineral that creates a double refraction. If you lay a clear sample of calcite over any written word, you will see that word twice! If it doesn't cause double refraction, it isn't calcite.
Add acid if a gas is evolved (CO2) you have the carbonate
Dropping a small amount of HCl (hydrochloric acid) on calcite will make it fizz. Non-carbonates will not do this.
A drop of vinegar will fizz on the chalk, but not on the claystone.

Chalk is CaCO3. The chemical name for chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a porous sedimentary rock, and is also a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are actually made from chalk.
it is C4HO2
I would say it is a physical change the chalk is being reduced to a smaller size. It still remains chalk.
The chemical name for precipitated chalk is calcium carbonate. It is a white, insoluble solid which is often used as an antacid.
No, it is a physical, not chemical change.
The chemical formula of chalk or limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Through chemical analysis of a piece of chalk!
Chalk is not a mixture it is a chemical compound called Calcium carbonate.

Calcium carbonate
It is clastic
Chalk is a biochemical sedimentary rock.
Chalk is calcium carbonate - CaCO3. Any chemical compound contain some impurities.
