**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Experiment**: The experiment conducted by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey is known as the Miller-Urey experiment. It aimed to recreate the conditions of the primitive Earth to investigate the origin of life. 2. **Duration of the Experiment**: The experiment was run continuously for a period of **one week**. This duration was essential to allow the chemical reactions to occur and for the products to form. 3. **Conditions Used**: In the experiment, Miller and Urey used a mixture of gases that were believed to represent the early Earth's atmosphere, including methane (CH₄), ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen (H₂), and water vapor (H₂O). They also provided energy in the form of electric sparks to simulate lightning, which was thought to be a source of energy on the primitive Earth. ...
