Q. Which of the following greenhouse gases has a global warming potential that is 300 times greater than that of carbon dioxide?
Answer: Nitrous oxide
Notes: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming potential 300 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year period. It is primarily produced by agricultural activities, fossil fuel combustion, and certain industrial processes. Interestingly, nitrous oxide also contributes to ozone layer depletion, making it a significant environmental concern in both climate change and stratospheric chemistry.
