Solution
All of the acids listed (CH3COOH, H2SO4, H2SO3, HNO3) can react with CaCO3 (calcium carbonate) to liberate CO2 (carbon dioxide). This is because they are all acids and can donate a proton (H+) to the carbonate ion (CO3 2-) in the CaCO3, forming H2CO3 (carbonic acid) which then decomposes into H2O (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide).
The reaction can be summarized as follows:
CaCO3 + 2H+ -> Ca2+ + H2O + CO2
So, the answer is all of the above.
