Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 How does lighting a match get rid of a horrible smell? I've tried it on many foul smells and it worked great, I'm just wondering how does it work. Every Rose Has It's Thorn!
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Fire uses oxygen, the smell is in the air. I'm guessing.
Guest Choken One Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 I remember my Chemistry teaching teaching us something about this but I was preoccupied...
Guest Sandman9000 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Fire makes everything better, and solves all problems.
Guest godthedog Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 when i first saw this topic, i thought it was a question about how wrestling companies arrange the lighting in the arenas they use.
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 I'm still lost, because I lit a match around my aunt, and her smell went away, for a while at least. Every Rose Has It's Thorn!
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Posted April 25, 2003 Since I'm pretty good at chemistry, I think I'll have a hand at this... The best way to induce a chemical reaction/change in something is to add fire. By adding fire to the foul-smelling molecules, you are changing the KINDS of molecules. Thus, newer less-smelling molecules are formed.

Guest I'm That Damn Zzzzz Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Sulphites and methane (I think) are the causes of many odors (both discharges of bacteria.) Sulphites cause morning breath, for example.
LaParkaYourCar Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 The sulfer smell is stronger than any other smell.
