A solution reacts with crushed egg shells to give a gas that turns lime-water milky. The solution contains HCl.

Eggshells are composed of calcium carbonate. When eggshells are subjected to HCl acid, CaCO3 reacts with hydrochloric acid to liberate carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas that is liberated turns the lime-water milky. The reactions are given as:-
CaCO3+2HCl  CaCl2+H2O+CO2
CaOH2+CO2CaCO3+H2O
