Question

The gas which is used to fill the packets of potato chips is ____________.

• A. nitrogen
• B. carbon dioxide
• C. oxygen
• D. water vapour

Answer 1

The correct option is A nitrogen

Nitrogen is used to fill the packets of potato chips. It doesn't affect the chips as it doesn't react with the chips present in the packet. Hence, the flavor of the food doesn't change and remains edible for longer time.

-Oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor might react and result in stale potato chips which will affect the taste ultimately.
