If you put a piece of chalk in water, don't expect much to happen. The chalk, which is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), will displace some water and sink.

It will grow in mass by a small amount since it is permeable and is absorbing the water.

When you put chalk in a container of cola, a chemical reaction occurs between the calcium carbonate in the chalk and the phosphoric acid in the cola. This reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, which creates bubbles and causes the chalk to fizz and dissolve. The chalk will eventually break down and disappear as it reacts with the acidic cola.
