Because it is a waste product of the respiratory system. We inhale air. Our longs filter out the needed oxygen which is sent to the tissues of our body. In the process, the lungs get rid of waste by exhaling carbon dioxide. Every cell in your body needs energy to live. They get their energy by reacting sugar (from food) with oxygen (which we breath in). This reaction, called respiration, releases energy and the waste products water and carbon dioxide. We get rid of the water as urine and the carbon dioxide is removed from our bodies through our lungs. We breath it out to get rid of it.
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.
Carbon dioxide would turn limewater milky white due to the formation of calcium carbonate when it reacts with the calcium hydroxide present in the limewater.
Limewater is an indicator for Carbon Dioxide
NO!!! Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a Brown Gas. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless gas. Each gas differs by one atom viz. nitrogen and / or carbon. However, they are both acidic gases. When dissolved in water they form nitric acid (HNO3) and carbonic acid (H2CO3).
At room temperature (around 25°C), carbon dioxide is a gas.

All carbonated drinks, including Coca Cola, use carbon dioxide (CO2).
The gas in fizzy drinks is carbon dioxide. When under pressure, carbon dioxide easily dissolves into water. It is a gas without color or odor.
Yes, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.
Carbon dioxide is a colorless gas.

Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon dioxide is a gas at 20 Celsius. It deposits into a solid at -80 Celsius.
Carbon dioxide gas is colorless
Carbon dioxide is denser.
