how do we test carbon dioxide
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.
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 an unknown reactant gas of a chemical reaction through a bottle containing lime water causes the clear liquid to become cloudy as calcium carbonate is precipitated out. This is he classic test for the presence of Carbon Dioxide

Whenever there is a gas present you will see bubbles the limewater test is to see if there is carbon dioxide present
add lime water to the air if the lime water turns cloudy then carbon dioxide is present
By blowing into a test tube of bicarbonate of soda, this should turn cloudy if carbon dioxide is present
how do we test carbon dioxide
Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?
It is a substance to test how much carbon dioxide is present in air.
Limewater. if carbon dioxide is present, limewater will turn milky/cloudy
Testing for carbon dioxide step wise:- 1.Invert a test tube so that the open end is facing down. 2.Release the gas you want to test from its container into the test tube. Keep the test tube inverted so that the gas does not escape. 3.Light a splint with matches or a lighter. Place the lit end of the splint in the test tube. The splint will immediately extinguish if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 4.Place moist blue litmus paper in the test tube. The litmus paper will turn red if carbon dioxide is present in the gas. 5.Place moist universal indicator paper in the test tube. The universal indicator paper will turn orange if carbon dioxide is present in the gas.

Blow it through limewater. If the limewater turns "milky" or "cloudy" (a white substance is shown) then Carbon Dioxide is present. If nothing happens, then Carbon Dioxide is not present in your solution.
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.
