Chapter 10, Problem 10.25P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ makes greater contribution to the greenhouse effect compared to ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ irrespective of the fact that GWP of ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is greater than that of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$

Concept Introduction:

GWP stands for Global Warming Potential which is the measure of energy absorption by 1 ton of gas over a period of time compared to ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$.
