balanced equation problem?

Calcium chloride is used to melt ice or to keep it from forming on roads. This important compound can be produced by reacting calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid. Two by-products are water and carbon dioxide. What would the balanced equation for the formation of calcium chloride by this reaction be?

CaCO3 = 2HCl ===> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Although if I wanted a lot of calcium chloride, I'd use the Solvay process LOL.
