Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,
Explanation :
Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.
If the amount of atoms of each type on the left and right sides of a reaction differs then to balance the equation by adding coefficient in the front of the elements or molecule or compound in the chemical equation.
The coefficient tell us about that how many molecules or atoms present in the chemical equation.
As per question, when calcium react with zinc carbonate then it react to give calcium carbonate and zinc as a product.
The balanced chemical reaction will be,
This reaction is a single replacement reaction in which the most reactive elements displaces the least reactive element from its solution.

Explanation:
Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.
a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement a is wrong.
b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:
the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C
so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.
c.
Expression for half life is as follows:
As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.
d.
Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong
