You can put a carbonate compound (such as baking soda or calcium carbonate) and an acid (such as vinegar or hydrochloric acid) in a test tube to produce carbon dioxide gas through a chemical reaction.
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.
The gas can be identified as carbon dioxide using a limewater test, where the gas is bubbled through limewater causing it to turn cloudy. Additionally, a carbon dioxide gas sensor can detect the presence of carbon dioxide in the air. Chemical tests such as reacting the gas with sodium hydroxide can also confirm the presence of carbon dioxide.
It seems like the hypothesis being tested is that adding something to the sixth test tube will result in the highest production of carbon dioxide compared to the other test tubes. The students may be testing the effect of different substances or conditions on carbon dioxide production to see which one produces the most in the sixth test tube.
It depends on what is inside the test tube. If the test tube is empty nothing will happen, if there is petrol in the test tube the petrol will ignite.
The splint test is to test for the presence of oxygen. You light a small piece of wood (the splint), then blow it out. The end of the wood will still glow. If you put the glowing splint into a test tube with oxygen, it will relight. It you put the glowing splint into a test tube with carbon dioxide, it will stop glowing. A better test for carbon dioxide is to bubble it through a solution of limewater.

The student would expect to find carbon dioxide in the test tube, as it is a product of cellular respiration.
is carbon dioxide and or hydrogen in a clean empty test tube
By blowing into a test tube of bicarbonate of soda, this should turn cloudy if carbon dioxide is present
carbon dioxide
To test for carbon dioxide, you can bubble the gas through limewater. If carbon dioxide is present, the limewater will turn cloudy due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Another method is to use a pH indicator, like bromothymol blue, which will change color in the presence of carbon dioxide due to the formation of carbonic acid.
collect gas from reaction with a test tube, then light spint and insert into the gas filled tube. if splint is extinguished immediately, then its CO2. but limewater test is more reliable

Carbon dioxide gas is collected when a uninflated balloon is placed around a test tube of yeast. This is because the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct of the fermentation process.
