Solution

Bubble the gas through limewater. The most effective way to test for $C O_{2}$ is to bubble the gas through "limewater", a diluted solution of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime). When you bubble carbon dioxide through the solution, it forms a solid precipitate of calcium carbonate – chalk or limestone
