Question
greenhouse gas
major greenhouses gases
have what is known as a greenhouse warming potential. a
ng potential measures the ability of a molecule to contribute to
er a period of time. one greenhouse gas is water vapor. water
ouse warming potential of less than one and lasts up to nine days
nitrous oxide is another greenhouse gas with a greenhouse
of 300, and it can last 114 years in the atmosphere.
the standard gas used for comparison of greenhouse warming
greenhouse warming potential of one and can last 300 - 1,000 years
. for example, cfcs, or chlorofluorocarbons, possess the greatest
ing potential of 1,600 - 13,000 times that of carbon dioxide.
ce in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen,
use gases stray outside that natural balance like cfcs and
e has a greenhouse warming potential of 25 and can last in the
years.
which gas has a greenhouse warming potential of 16
13,000 times greater than carbon dioxide?
nitrous oxide
methane
cfcs
From the left text, it says "CFCs, or chlorofluorocarbons, possess the greatest warming potential of 1,600 - 13,000 times that of carbon dioxide", which matches the question's description of a gas with a greenhouse warming potential of 1600 - 13,000 times greater than carbon dioxide. Nitrous oxide has a potential of 300, and methane has 25, so they don't match.
