Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Global Warming Potential $(GWP)$ is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere. $N_2O$ (Nitrous oxide) has a $GWP$ of approximately $265-298$ over a $100$-year period. $CFC$s (Chlorofluorocarbons) have very high $GWP$ values,often ranging from $5,000$ to $10,000$ or more. Comparing the values,$N_2O$ has a $GWP$ that is approximately $1/25$th of the $GWP$ of $CFC$s.
