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 positive test for oxygen is very simple. all that needs to happen is a vile must be filled 1/4 with hydrogen peroxide and a glowing splint must be inserted in t the vile . the splint will reignite after it is inserted int the vile.
One common test for carbon dioxide is the limewater test. In this test, carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater, which will turn cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide due to the formation of calcium carbonate precipitate. This cloudiness indicates the presence of carbon dioxide.
When a lighted splint is put near carbon dioxide, it will be extinguished because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. This is because carbon dioxide does not contain any free oxygen atoms needed for combustion to occur.
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.
You can test for hydrogen by using a lighted splint, which will produce a "pop" sound when exposed to hydrogen. Carbon dioxide can be confirmed by passing it through limewater, which will turn cloudy. Oxides can be detected by performing a flame test, which will produce different colored flames depending on the type of oxide present.
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

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.
When a lighted splint is put near carbon dioxide, it will be extinguished because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. This is because carbon dioxide does not contain any free oxygen atoms needed for combustion to occur.
The gas that causes a burning splint to go out is carbon dioxide. Its presence is often used to test for the presence of this particular gas.
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.
how do we test carbon dioxide
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.
The burning splint is extinguished by the carbon dioxide given off from the calcium carbonate. CaCO3 --heat--> CaO + CO2 ==================================================
Carbon Dioxide. You can prove it by collecting some of the gas in a test tube (the gas is heavier than air). Drop a lighted splint into the test tube, and the flame will be extinguished.
