Answer:

Explanation:

A + HCl → effervescence

We know that the gas which gives effervescence is carbon monoxide, CO2 and CO2 gas even extinguishes the burning candle. So, one product is CO2.

One product given is CaCl2 which gives that the metal compound has metal Calcium and have carbon and oxygen, which were present in CO2.

So, the metal compound is CaCO3 and the chemical equation is :

CaCO3 + HCl → CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
