Question

In the experiment, Urey and Miller provided an electric discharge in a mixture of

• A. Ammonia, oxygen, steam, hydrogen
• B. Methane, hydrogen, nitrogen, steam
• C. Steam, methane, hydrogen, ammonia
• D. Carbon dioxide, oxygen, ammonia

Answer 1

The correct option is C Steam, methane, hydrogen, ammonia

The historic Miller-Urey experiment simulated the earth's assumed primitive atmosphere by using a gaseous mixture of methane (CH${}_4$), ammonia (NH${}_3$), water vapour (H${}_2$O) and hydrogen (H${}_2$) in a glass flask.

So, the correct answer is option C.
