Question

In Miller’s experiment, He used a mixture of `CH_(4)` , `NH_(3)` , `H_(2)` and water vapour in a closed flask to mimic early earth’s conditions. What was the temperature at which this flask was kept?

Answer 1

Answer:

800 Celsius

Explanation:

Miller's experiment or Miller-Urey experiment was a chemical reaction performed in a laboratory to test the chemical origin of life by simulating the conditions thought to be present in the earth around the time.The conditions on earth were – high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3, etc. Miller, created the electric discharge in a closed flask containing CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour at 800C.
