To show the presence of CO2 you have to do simple experiment
1) Take freshly prepared limewater
2) Blow air in it with the help of straw
The limewater will turn milky
The Limewater which is CaOH is transparent but when it reacts with CO2 it turns into CaCO3 which is opaque.
The equation is as follows
Ca(OH)+CO2= CaCO3
