The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the temperature at which S.L. Miller conducted his electric discharge experiment, follow these steps: 1. **Identify the Experiment**: Understand that S.L. Miller performed an experiment to simulate the conditions of primitive Earth to investigate the spontaneous formation of organic compounds. 2. **Components of the Experiment**: Recognize that the closed flask contained gases such as methane (CH₄), hydrogen (H₂), ammonia (NH₃), and water vapor. 3. **Temperature Setting**: Recall that the experiment required a specific temperature to mimic the conditions of early Earth. 4. **Determine the Temperature**: From the information provided, it is noted that the temperature at which Miller conducted his experiment was around 800 degrees Celsius. 5. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the temperature identified, the correct answer to the question is 800 degrees Celsius. Thus, the answer is: **800 degrees Celsius**. ---
