Olympiad: everyday chemistry detectives ★★★, sentence 13
In chalk and limestone areas tap water is hard, and heating it leaves white limescale; limescale is mostly calcium carbonate, like chalk, so it fizzes with acid such as vinegar.
Who acts: tap water, heating, limescale · What happens: be, heat, leave, fizz · To what, where: chalk areas, water, white limescale, calcium carbonate
