3. Please determine the global warming potential of HFC-23 over a 50-year time. Given that the lifetime of HFC-23 is 270 years. The values for the spectral overlap of CO2 and HFC-23 with infrared radiation from Earth are 1.5 × 10-5 W/m² and 0.20 W/m², respectively. Given that the lifetime of CO2 is 150 years and the molecular weight of HFC-23 is 70 g/mol.
