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 (CCl3F), 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 (CCl3F). 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.
