The gas released in the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is carbon dioxide.
CaCO3 + 2 HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
No, calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid produce Calcium chloride (salt) and water and Carbon dioxide (gas).
Calcium carbonate is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid but their combined pH depends on ther initial concentrations.
Carbon Dioxide
The gas carbon dioxide is released.
They form Calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water , CaCO3 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
My guess is that it would not "fizz" at all.The Fizz that one often sees when mixing calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, etc with an acid is the releasing carbon dioxide CO2 from the Carbonate ion CO32-.Calcium Chloride is a salt. It will likely dissociate in the solution, but I doubt it will "fizz".If you mix Hydrochloric Acid with Calcium Carbonate you get:2HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2Where the Calcium Chloride is more likely kept in solution as Ca2+ + 2Cl-

Those compounds produce hydrogen (gas).

Magnesium chloride is formed.
Limescale is mostly calcium carbonate with some magnesium carbonate mixed in there as well. So the answer would be calcium.
