Calcium carbonate is incompatible with acids (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 2004. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 11th Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, p 670).
Sodium carbonate reacts violently with acids, with rapid evolution of CO2 gas (Anon., Loss Prev. Bull., 1978, (023), 138; Anon., Sichere Chemiearbeit , 2000, 52 (2), 22).
