What is population holding capacity in reference to environmental science?

How does CO2's heat-holding capacity compare with methane and fluorinated gases?

  • I'm doing Environmental Science homework on greenhouse gases. The problem I'm looking at asks me to compare CO2's heat-holding capacity with that of methane gas and fluorinated gases. Can anyone help me?

  • Answer:

    The heat retention characteristics relative to CO2 are as follows; Methane (CH4): 21 CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) (CCl3F): 1320 CFC-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) (CF2Cl2): 6650 CFC-113 (trichlorotrifluoroethane) (C2F3Cl3): 9300 carbon tetrachloride (CCl4): 1550 methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3): 700 HCFC-22 (chlorodifluoromethane) (CHClF2): 350 sulphur hexafluoride (SF6): 23,900 trifluoromethyl sulphur pentafluoride (SF5CF3): 20,000 perfluoroethane (C2F6): 9200
