It is extinguished
What effect does carbon dioxide has on burning splint?
it goes out A glowing splint needs oxygen to basically keep glowing. It is a small fire in a way. When the glowing splint is added into an environment full of carbon dioxide, the splint goes out. Carbon dioxide in this case smothers the flame restricting the use of oxygen in combustion thus putting the flame out.

Nitrogen gas makes up most of the atmosphere. However carbon dioxide extinguishes a burning splint and is found in a small amount in the atmosphere Nitrogen gas. It is an inert gas that makes up over 70% of the Earth's atmosphere.
How do you express reaction between co2 and burning splint?
The reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and a burning splint is that the splint will extinguish. This is because CO2 is a non-flammable gas, which lacks oxygen to support combustion. When brought into contact with a burning splint, it displaces the oxygen and prevents the splint from continuing to burn.
What would happen if you put a glowing splint in nitrogen?
It is extinguished
What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen why would the burning splint test not work?
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 you do the burning splint test?
Burn the splint to orange bright by shaking off the flame on it. Insert the splint into a test tube of gas. If it glows brightly, the gas is oxygen. If it pops, it is hydrogen.
