The gas produced when hydrochloric acid is reacted with ammonium carbonate is carbon dioxide:
(NH4)2CO3 + 2HCl ---> 2NH4Cl + CO2
Note: Ammonium carbonate is smelling salts. It decomposes at room temperature and will smell of ammonia BEFORE the hydrochloric acid is added:
NH4)2CO3 ---> 2NH3 + CO2
I hope that this fully answers your question.

Carbon Dioxide. The other products are Water and ammonium chloride.

CO2. if you really heat it youll also get NH3 and HCl gas off too and if you heat even more youll get water vapor off.

Carbon dioxide
HCl + (NH4)2CO3 => H2O + NH4Cl + CO2 (I'll let you balance it!)
