Most metal carbonates react with hydrocholric acid and release carbon dixide.

For example The numbers after the letters should be subscripts.

2HCl + CaCO3 = CaCl2 + H2CO3 ( H2O+ CO2) CO2 (gas)

2HCl + ZnCO3 = ZnCl2 + H2CO3 ( H2O+ CO2) CO2 (gas)

H2CO3 is carbonated water. Soda pop is made by forcing carbon dioxide into water under pressure. When you remove the cap, you see bubbles rising in the bottle. The bubbles are CO2.
