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.

What test would allow you to tell the difference between carbon dioxide and nitrogen?

The limewater test can differentiate between carbon dioxide and nitrogen. When carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate. Nitrogen will not have this effect on limewater.

What is the difference between nitrogen and carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula CO2. It contains one atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen and its molecular geometry is linear. It is a colorless gas formed by the combustion of carbon or carbon compounds. Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO2. It contains one atom of nitrogen and two atoms of oxygen and its molecular geometry is bent. It is a brown gas often formed by superheating air or by electrical arcs. Unlike CO2, NO2 exists in equilibrium with its dimer, N2O4
