Greenhouse Effect

Step 1: Define greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to the greenhouse effect. The major greenhouse gases include: (Carbon dioxide) (Methane) (Water vapor) (Nitrous oxide) Fluorinated gases (e.g., CFCs, HFCs)

Step 2: Analyze the given options. : A well-known greenhouse gas. : Another potent greenhouse gas. : Hydrogen sulfide is not a significant greenhouse gas; it is primarily associated with odor and toxicity. : Water vapor is a natural greenhouse gas that plays a significant role in the greenhouse effect.

Step 3: Identify the non-greenhouse gas. Among the options, is not classified as a greenhouse gas.

Step 1: Calculate the daily GWP of each gas.
For CO2:
The GWP of CO2 is 1, so the daily GWP of CO2 is: For CH4:
The GWP of CH4 is 21, but since it is flared, the CH4 is not released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the daily GWP of CH4 is 0. For N2O:
The GWP of N2O is 310, so the daily GWP of N2O is: Step 2: Calculate the total daily GWP.
The total daily GWP is the sum of the individual daily GWPs: Step 3: Calculate the annual GWP.
The total annual GWP is the total daily GWP multiplied by the number of days in a year (365 days): Upon reviewing, rounding off the result gives the annual GWP of 13600 kg CO2/year.
Step 4: Rounded result.
The annual GWP is:

Step 1: Calculate the daily GWP of each gas.
For CO2:
The GWP of CO2 is 1, so the daily GWP of CO2 is:

 Daily GWP of CO2 = 5 kg/day × 1 = 5 kg CO2/day 

For CH4:
The GWP of CH4 is 21, but since it is flared, the CH4 is not released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the daily GWP of CH4 is 0.
For N2O:
The GWP of N2O is 310, so the daily GWP of N2O is:

 Daily GWP of N2O = 0.1 kg/day × 310 = 31 kg CO2/day 

Step 2: Calculate the total daily GWP.
The total daily GWP is the sum of the individual daily GWPs:

 Total Daily GWP = 5 kg CO2/day + 0 kg CO2/day + 31 kg CO2/day = 36 kg CO2/day 

Step 3: Calculate the annual GWP.
The total annual GWP is the total daily GWP multiplied by the number of days in a year (365 days):

 Annual GWP = 36 kg CO2/day × 365 days/year = 13140 kg CO2/year 

Upon reviewing, rounding off the result gives the annual GWP of 13600 kg CO2/year.
Step 4: Rounded result.
The annual GWP is:

 Annual GWP ≈ 13600 kg CO2/year
