Chemical Engineering in Daily Life – Question 55: What do these compounds taste like?
Thread Content
What are the smells of hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, dimethyl sulfide, ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, phosphine, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, and n-pentanoic acid?
It has varying degrees of acidity. ---------
I don’t know, I don’t know... waiting for an answer
It is said that hydrogen sulfide, when considered in terms of its purity, has the smell of rotten eggs, while ammonia has a pungent taste; however, it is said that pure hydrogen sulfide is odorless. I’m not sure about the rest
It was said during the training that hydrogen sulfide can only be detected for a short time. If you stay longer, you won’t be able to smell it anymore.
Hydrogen sulfide has the smell of rotten eggs. . . . .
At low concentrations, it has the smell of rotten eggs; at high concentrations, it paralyzes the olfactory cells so that no smell can be detected, and at even higher concentrations, death occurs instantly – this is known as electric shock poisoning. I can’t remember the specific concentration data for each level of poisoning.
