Chips bags contain which gas?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

Chips bags are filled with Nitrogen gas through a process known as nitrogen flushing. Nitrogen is used because it is an inert gas, meaning it does not react with the fats and oils present in the chips. If oxygen were used, it would cause the chips to undergo oxidation, leading to rancidity (a stale smell and taste). Additionally, the nitrogen gas provides a protective cushion that prevents the chips from being crushed or broken during handling and transportation.
