The global warming potential (GWP) of N₂O gas is (RJ ARO Agri. Chemistry 2020)

✅Explanation: Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential significantly higher than carbon dioxide (CO₂). Its GWP is estimated to be around 298 over a 100-year timeframe. This means that one ton of N₂O emitted into the atmosphere has the equivalent warming effect of 298 tons of CO₂ over a century.

🔑Key Points:
-Global warming refers to the rise in global temperatures due to the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
-Increased levels of CO2 can lead to the warming of the earth's atmosphere and thereby can lead to global warming
-The ultimate objective of the United Nations Framework Convention is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations "at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human-induced) interference with the climate system.
-The global warming potential of Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is the highest among all the given gases.
-Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the least global warming potential gas.
-Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a higher Global Warming Potential compared to Methane (CH4)
