what will happen if sulphuric acid and oyster shell is added to a tube?

The generic name of Oyster shell is calcium carbonate.
This calcium carbonate product is derived from oyster shells, a rich source of calcium.
When sulphuric acid is added to calcium carbonate, the gas produced turns the limewater chalky.
Calcium carbonate + sulphuric acid ? Calcium sulphate + Carbon dioxide + water

H2SO4(aq)  + CaCO3(s)  
?   CaSO4(aq)  + CO2(g)  + H2O(l)
