The pair of compounds used as anaesthetic in medicines -

  • A.Ether, ammonia
  • B.Nitrogen dioxide, ether
  • C.Nitrous oxide, chloroform
  • D.Chloroform, nitrogen dioxide

Answer: C

Nitrous oxide and chloroform are the pair used as anaesthetics.

Nitrous oxide, laughing gas, has been used since the 1840s and is still given with oxygen; chloroform was introduced by James Simpson in 1847 but was abandoned as it damages the liver and heart. Nitrogen dioxide is a toxic pollutant and could not be breathed.
