Question

Which of the following best describes the apparatus of the Miller-Urey experiment?

• A. A series of glass tubes connecting two glass flasks and an electrode
• B. A series of glass tubes connecting two glass flasks, an electrode, a heat source and a condenser
• C. A series of connected glass tubes
• D. A series of glass tubes connecting two glass flasks

Answer 1

The correct option is B A series of glass tubes connecting two glass flasks, an electrode, a heat source and a condenser

Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted an experiment to demonstrate that several organic compounds can be formed simultaneously if the conditions of the early earth are simulated in the lab. The set apparatus used by them consists of a series of glass tubes connecting two glass flasks, an electrode, a heat source and a condenser.

So, the correct answer is option 'B'
