the acid react with metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonate to produce salt, water and carbon dioxide.
Example:-
1) 2HCl+Na2CO3→2NaCl+H2O+CO2
2) HCl+NaHCO3→NaCl+H2O+CO2

Snehasen: the answer is different from the question

ReetChauhan1112: what is different

ReetChauhan1112: ?????

Snehasen: I asked how do metal carbonate bt......the answer seems what do metal carbonate

Snehasen: ????

ReetChauhan1112: actually

ReetChauhan1112: it is one and the same thing

ReetChauhan1112: the answer is correct actually

Snehasen: okkk dear

Answer: The equations are given below.

Explanation:

Metal carbonates are designated as $MCO_3$ , where M is the metal

Metal hydrogen carbonates are designated as $MHCO_3$ , where M is the metal.

The reactions of metal carbonates and metal hydrogen carbonates with acid HX are:

$MCO_3+2HX\rightarrow MX_2+CO_2+H_2O$

Metal carbonates on reaction with acid releases a salt, carbon dioxide and water.

$MHCO_3+HX\rightarrow MX+CO_2+H_2O$

Metal hydrogen carbonates on reaction with acid releases a salt, carbon dioxide and water.

Hence, the equations are given above.
