As metal compound released is Calcium Chloride the gas evolved here is CO2. Hence metal A should be Calcium Carbonate. Hence the reaction between Calcium Carbonate and HCl is
CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl (Aq) → CaCl2( Aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)

Answer:
The gas thus formed is an effervescent carbon dioxide gas when calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid. The carbon dioxide gas also acts as an extinguisher for fires. Hence, the burning candle is extinguished. The metal compound A, therefore, constitutes calcium carbonate.
