Lab: Grignard Reaction - Triphenylmethanol

As an alternative to, or in addition to, drying tubes to protect a Grignard reaction, some chemists carry out these reactions under dry nitrogen or argon atmosphere. Explain why these are a suitable environment for this reaction. Would dry carbon dioxide work equally well? Explain why or why not. (Explain in 4-5 Sentences)
