Miller-Urey experiment
The Miller-Urey experiment was a synthesis of small organic molecules in a mixture of simple gases in a thermal gradient created by heating (right) and cooling (left) the mixture at the same time, with electrical discharges. The Miller-Urey experiment[ 1] (or Miller experiment[ 2]) was an experiment in chemical synthesis carried out in 1952 ...
How much temperature was used for the gases to react?
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 ...

The Miller-Urey experiment. The original apparatus used by Miller and Urey was quite simple compared to today's standards. It essentially consisted of two glass flasks connected by glass tubing. One flask served as the boiling flask, where gases and other molecules could accumulate in a water phase. The other flask (located above the boiling ...
The Miller Volcanic Spark Discharge Experiment
Miller's 1950s experiments used, besides the apparatus known in textbooks, one that generated a hot water mist in the spark flask, simulating a water vapor‐rich volcanic eruption. We found the original extracts of this experiment in Miller's material and reanalyzed them. The volcanic apparatus produced a wider variety of amino acids than the ...

Electric Discharge
Electric discharges were first used in the context of astrobiology research in the 1952 Miller-Urey Experiment (Miller 1953) in which a spark was passed through a mixture of methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water, simulating the action of lightning acting on what was then thought to be the composition of the primitive atmosphere. This experiment ...
Conducting Miller-Urey Experiments
Miller's experiment mimicked lightning by the action of an electric discharge on a mixture of gases representing the early atmosphere, in the presence of a liquid water reservoir, representing the early oceans. The apparatus also simulated evaporation and precipitation through the use of a heating mantle and a condenser, respectively.

There also had been similar electric discharge experiments related to the origin of life contemporaneous with Miller-Urey. An article in The New York Times (March 8, 1953:E9), titled "Looking Back Two Billion Years" describes the work of Wollman (William) M. MacNevin at Ohio State University, before the Miller Science paper was published in May ...
Conducting Miller-Urey Experiments
In 1953, Stanley Miller reported the production of biomolecules from simple gaseous starting materials, using apparatus constructed to simulate the primordial Earth's atmosphere-ocean system. Miller introduced 200 ml of water, 100 mmHg of H2, 200mmHg of CH4, and 200mmHg of NH3 into the apparatus, then subjected this mixture, under reflux, to an electric discharge for a week, while the water ...
