Sorry, I meant:
CaCO3 + SO2 + O2 = CaSO4 + CO2
2007-11-09 14:30:18 · update #1
The reaction is :
CaCO3 + SO2 + O2 ---------> CaSO4 + CO2
The balanced equation will be :
2 CaCO3 +2SO2 +O2 --------> 2 CaSO4 + 2CO2

CaCO3 + SO4 + O2 --> CaSO4 + CO2
the above equation is wrong.SO4 is a radical.It cannot exist independently.It is present in compounds like H2SO4 , CaSO4
etc.....

What Venkatesh means is that we can't really balance it until all the parts are there: you don't have SO4= all by itself like that, and if it's H2SO4 on one side, there should be an H2O on the other, which will change the balanced state. Personally, I'm not sure what the "O2" is doing there, but I'm sure you have a good reason for it.

The equation is incorrect. SO4 is not a compound so reaction like this is possible. Neither O2 would react with CaCO3

Do you wish to test our fundamental knowledge by asking such rubbish questions? Sulphate cannot exist independently. The question itself is wrong?

Here's your answer:
2CaCO3 + 2SO2 + O2 = 2CaSO4 + 2CO2

the balanced equation is
2CaCO3+ 2SO2+ O2 -----> 2CaSO4+ 2CO2
