Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to determine the most important greenhouse
gas that behaves in a similar way to glass in a greenhouse effect and to study the
effect of greenhouse gasses towards environment. Besides, the project also focus on
the objectives to investigate the outcome of carbon dioxide (CO2)
trichlorofluoromethane (CCI3F), and pentane (CH3(CH2)3CH3) act upon temperature
of surroundings. The presence of greenhouse gasses in the environment has become
a major threat to plant, animal and human life due to their effect. The projects
involved experiment based. Four reflecting mirrors are prepared to fit the bases of
the beakers. Carbon dioxide is introduced into one of the beaker using delivery tubes
connected to the source. The temperature recorded in this beaker will rise and attain
a new steady value. The investigation will be using other gas for instance
trichlorofluoromethane (CCI3F). The study also will investigate pentane (CH3
(CH2)3CH3) that is vapour of volatile liquids act upon temperature in beaker. The last
beaker will be controlled beaker for open air (without gas). The parameters that will
be controlled are the distance of photoflood light bulb from the mirror in order to
find the temperature increase or decrease. The procedure will be repeated for 20 cm,
and 25 cm heights.
