Eggshell is made almost entirely of calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) .

And when HCl reacts with crushed egg shell (calcium carbonate ) ,it leads to the production of carbon dioxide-

2HCl + CaCO3 ————-> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

Products formed are - calcium chloride ,water and carbon dioxide.

Formation of carbon dioxide can be checked by reacting it with lime water -

CO2 when react with lime water then -

CO2 + Ca (OH)2 ——————→CaCO3 + H2O
