to test for carbon dioxide is already dissolved in limewater , after this shake up the test tube , is it be that carbondioxide is present then two things will happen :
1) the limewater will turn cloudy as co2 is a precipatate is this solution
2)the limewater will begin to show efferevescence now we know gas is present if these two thing happen then there is an extremly high chance that co2 is present.
Bubbling through limewater. The gas is present if the limewater turns cloudy :)
You make it bubble through calcium hydroxide (or lime water). If it goes cloudy, then you have carbon dioxide.

how do we test carbon dioxide
Lime water test.
by the process of photosynthesis
To test for the production of carbon dioxide, you can perform the following experiment: Add a small amount of a substance that can produce carbon dioxide, such as baking soda, to a container. Then, add an acid, such as vinegar, to the container. If the production of carbon dioxide occurs, you will observe bubbling or fizzing, indicating the release of carbon dioxide gas.
You stated that carbon dioxide and nitrogen are present, but you did not mention oxygen. Nothing burns without oxygen . . . If you expose limewater to carbon dioxide, it will get cloudy, but will not if you expose it to nitrogen.
how do we test carbon dioxide
To prepare and examine carbon dioxide:
To test the presence of carbon dioxide bubble the gas into the lime water. Carbon dioxide reacts to form calcium carbonate which turns cloudy.
limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide
It is a test for carbon dioxide.
Lime water test.
When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water it goes cloudy.
Carbon dioxide levels are tested through the blood
by the process of photosynthesis
well, to check you have to preform the pop test. the pop test is a test that you add fire to the container that the acid is in. if it pops its hydrogen but if it doesn't its carbon dioxide.
You can test it with the Lime Water test. If there is carbon dioxide in your breath then the Lime Water should turn cloudy.
I'm not sure if it's an official test, but you could take a lit match and put it in the test tube (keeping the test tube right side up). If the test tube does contain carbon dioxide the match would be smothered since the carbon dioxide prevents oxygen from reaching the match.
