If the acid is sufficiently strong, carbon dioxide gas will evolve and a calcium salt of the acid will be formed.
Limestone reacts violently with acids.
The formula for limestone is CaCO3 and hydrocloric acid is HCL. Therefore they undergo a acid + metalcarbonate reaction. acid + metal carbonate -> salt +water + carbon di oxide. So when limestone reacts with HCl it prodcues salt (CaCl2) , water (H2O) and carbon di oxide (CO2(bubbles)). thus limestone reacts with HCl
Limestone is basically Calcium Carbonate(CaCO3). The metal part(Calcium) is the reactive part in it. It reacts with acids as well as bases. For example, it reacts with Hydrochloric acid to form calcium chloride whereas reacts with Ammonium hydroxide to form Calcium Hydroxide.

When limestone reacts with acid, Carbon Dioxide is produced.

exothermic process takes place when powdered limestone reacts with acid in lakes.

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water forming carbonic acid H2CO3, a weak acid that slowly erodes the limestone.

"In water it forms an acid which reacts with the limestone to produce a water-soluble substance."
The products are a salt of calcium, carbon dioxide and water.
