Question

The gas which is flushed in the chips packets by the chips manufacturers to prevent their oxidation is

• A.
  $O_2$
• B.
  $H_2$
• C.
  $N_2$
• D.
  $C{l}_2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$N_2$
When fats and oils are oxidised, they become rancid, and their smell and taste change. Therefore, chips manufacturers usually flush bags of chips with a gas such as nitrogen $N_2$ to prevent the chips from getting oxidised.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
