Background/Research Part:
The chemical compound that is composed of two oxygen atoms bonded with a single carbon atom is known as carbon dioxide (CO2) (S.S. …show more content…
Vehicle number two is the 2006 Buick Terraza minivan, which contains a six-cylinder engine that also takes regular unleaded gas (87 octane). Vehicle number three is the 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 motorcycle that has a 3-cylinder 800cc engine and takes premium-unleaded gas (93 octane). The data that was analyzed, indicates that vehicle number three contains the most CO2 out of the three vehicles that were being tested.
Figure one compares each of the three trials for each of the three varying vehicle types with the recorded result of the amount of CO2 (in parts per million) from their exhaust emissions. These graphs.
Figure two shows the average amount of Co2 from each of the three trials for each of the three different types of vehicles. This graph shows that the motorcycle, which has the smallest engine, emitted the most CO2 compared to the 2006 Buick Terraza minivan and the 1997 Honda CRV (suv). This graph shows that the 2006 Buick Terraza minivan, which has the largest engine, emitted the lowest amount of CO2. This graph also shows that my hypothesis was supported after conducting this scientific study.
Table 1 shows the exact amount of CO2 from each gas emission from the three different vehicles and the average of the three
