Final answer:

The question requests evaluation of lining material effectiveness based on particle size and CaCO3 content, but provided information lacks context for a proper assessment. Examples given relate to the law of conservation of mass and the solubility of CaCO3, but they do not directly assess lining materials.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the effectiveness of a lining material which I assume relates to its particle size distribution and chemical composition, specifically its CaCO₃ (calcium carbonate) content. However, the details provided are insufficient to directly assess the effectiveness of the lining material based on the given sieve analysis (40% through a 50-micrometer sieve and 96% through a 10-micrometer sieve) and the CaCO₃ equivalent (98%). In general, a lining material's effectiveness will depend on factors such as particle size distribution, chemical purity, and specific application requirements.

To connect this with the chemistry concepts, the provided examples relate to the law of conservation of mass, displaying that the mass of the reactants remains equal to the mass of the products after a reaction. In Example 2.2.1 and 3.7.1, heating 10.0 grams of CaCO₃ produces a combination of CO₂ and CaO that totals to the original mass of 10.0 grams, which corroborates the law of conservation of mass. The solubility of CaCO₃ and its interaction with acids like carbonic acid in natural waters are also mentioned but do not pertain specifically to the effectiveness of a lining material.
