Question

Which of the following pairs of gases is mainly responsible for green house effect ? (A) Nitrogen and Sulphur dioxide (B) Carbon dioxide and Methane (C) Ozone and Ammonia (D) Oxygen and Nitrogen

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Relative contribution of various greenhouse gases to total global warming is

∙ C O_{2} = 60%

∙ C H_{4} = 20%

∙ CFC = 14%

∙ N_{2} O = 6%

\Rightarrow

Therefore

C O_{2}

and

C H_{4}

are the major greenhouse gases

Q. Which of the following pairs of gases is mainly responsible for green house effect ?

Nitrogen and Sulphur dioxide

Carbon dioxide and Methane

Ozone and Ammonia

Oxygen and Nitrogen

Relative contribution of various greenhouse gases to total global warming is ∙CO2​=60% ∙CH4​=20% ∙CFC=14% ∙N2​O=6% ⇒ Therefore CO2​ and CH4​ are the major greenhouse gases

Relative contribution of various greenhouse gases to total global warming is
$∙ C O_{2} = 60%$
$∙ C H_{4} = 20%$
$∙ CFC = 14%$
$∙ N_{2} O = 6%$
$\Rightarrow$ Therefore $C O_{2}$ and $C H_{4}$ are the major greenhouse gases
