Acid rain is less of a threat to lakes and streams in areas where the bedrock is limestone (CaCO₃).  Which of the following represents a balanced equation for the neutralization of acid by limestone?
◦ CaCO₃ + 2OH^–  → Ca(OH)₂ + CO₂

◦ CaCO₃ + 2H₃O⁺→ Ca²⁺ + CO₂ + 3H₂O
◦ CaCO₃ + H₂O → Ca + H₂CO₃

◦ CaCO₃ + OH^–→ Ca²⁺ + CO₂ + H₂O
◦ CaCO₃ + 2H₃O⁺→ Ca²⁺ + CO₂ + 2H₂O
