Q. The ratio of methane, ammonia and hydrogen in Stanley Miller’s experiment was
A) 3 : 1 : 2
B) 2 : 1 : 2
C) 1 : 2 : 1
D) 5 : 4 : 1
Explanation
Stanley Miller and Harold Urey synthesized amino acid by passing an electric discharge in a mixture of ammonia$\left( NH_{3} \right),\ hydrogen\ \left( H_{2} \right),\ water\ vapours\ \left( H_{2}O \right)and\ methane\ \left( CH_{4} \right).$ The ratio of $CH_{4},\ NH_{3}and\ H_{2}$ in large flask was 2 : 1 : 2.
