Answer 2

Answer:

Nitrogen is unreactive gas as compared to oxygen. Oil and fats present in the food items get oxidised and become rancid in the presence of air or oxygen. But such reaction is prevented in the presence of nitrogen. Therefore,food items like potato chips e.t.c are packed with nitrogen gas to prevent them from rancidity for a long time.
