Question

S.L. Miller in 1953, created electric discharge in a closed flask containing

• A. CH${}_4$, NH${}_3$, H${}_2$ and water vapour at 600°C
• B. CH${}_4$, O${}_2$, NH${}_3$ and water vapour at 800°C
• C. CH${}_4$, H${}_2$, NH${}_3$ and water vapour at 800°C
• D. CH${}_4$, H${}_2$ and NH${}_3$ only at 800°C

Answer 1

The correct option is C CH${}_4$, H${}_2$, NH${}_3$ and water vapour at 800°C

S.L. Miller observed formation of amino acids in his experiment. He created electric discharge in a closed flask containing CH${}_4$, H${}_2$, NH${}_3$ and water vapour at 800°C.
