Recently a chemical weapon was used in the civil war of Syria. What is that chemical agent?

Mustard gas
Chlorine gas
Methyl isocyanide gas
Sarin gas

The correct answer is (d) Sarin gas.

Sarin is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is highly toxic to humans and animals. It is a nerve agent that can cause death within minutes of exposure. Sarin was first developed in Germany in the 1930s and was used as a chemical weapon in the Syrian civil war.

Mustard gas is a blistering agent that can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It was first used in World War I and has been used in several conflicts since then.

Chlorine gas is a greenish-yellow gas that is used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. It is also a chemical weapon that can cause respiratory problems, skin burns, and death.

Methyl isocyanide gas is a colorless, flammable gas that is used in the production of pesticides and plastics. It is a chemical weapon that can cause respiratory problems, skin burns, and death.

Sarin gas is the most deadly of the four chemical agents listed. It is a nerve agent that can cause death within minutes of exposure. Mustard gas, chlorine gas, and methyl isocyanide gas are all toxic, but they are not as deadly as sarin gas.
