You are conducting an experiment with two very reactive substances. One will react with oxygen (O) and other substances in the air, and the other will react to metal in a container. What type of environment can you seal them in so they only react with each other?

A. Seal them in a glass container in an atmosphere of argon (Ar) gas.
B. Suspend them in a bromine (Br) solution inside a glass container.
C. Seal them in a container of soft alkali metal such as lithium (Li), in an atmosphere of hydrogen (H) gas.

Answer:

A. Seal them in a glass container in an atmosphere of argon (Ar) gas.

Because Argon is an inert/noble gas which do not react with other elements/radicals. Thus, best way to make two radicals/substance only react is to seal them in glass container consisting atmosphere of Argon (Ar)..

Note: I also dont know if it's correct answer.. Since I am just giving my logic.. I hope it will help you
