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.
calcium cation = Ca2+ carbonate ion = CO32- the charges should cancel and you have the correct formula
The chemical symbol for chalk is CaCO3, which represents the compound calcium carbonate.
No, it is a physical, not chemical change.
Breaking a lump of chalk into powder is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The chemical composition of the chalk remains the same before and after breaking it into powder.
Crushing chalk is a physical change, not a chemical change. Physical changes alter the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition. So, when chalk is crushed, it remains the same substance chemically but in a smaller form.
Limestone and chalk, together with marble and egg shells, are both impure form of calcium carbonate. The impurites are different in each substance, but only in small/trace amounts.

The chemical formula is identical (CaCO3, calcium carbonate) but the physical and mineralogical properties are different.

Calcium carbonate
It is clastic
Besides for rearranging the glass pieces, one is not actually changing the chemical formula of the glass. Much like grinding NaCl, the crystals get smaller but the chemical remains the same.
The compound containing calcium and the carbonate ion is calcium carbonate. Its chemical formula is CaCO3.
