Where do smells go?

Lets say a skunk sprays and it gets stinky for a bit. Then the smellll goes away. Where did the smell go?
Are all smells trapped some place? Do they all exist but are masked by smells other things put off?
Does smell rise like hot air?:huh:

I imagine the active agent in the chemical in skunk spray emitting the smell dies off thus cutting off the smell.

Hey I guess it's a really active agent....the 007 of smells and whatnot.

[Tempestv]

the skunk sprays a particular chemical that causes the stink. the chemical floating in the air eventually dissipates and disperses to such a low concentration that you can no longer smell it. eventually, it breaks down and stops smelling all together. if you get some of the chemical on you, that's a whole lot worse- not only is it not going to disperse because it is stuck to you, water doesn't do a good job of taking it off. in fact it will make it worse. eventually, the skunk chemicals will break down and stop smelling. however, if it gets wet, it reactivates and starts stinking again. evil evil stuff.

[Seedler]

The smell, which is most likely some nitrogen compound, becomes a gas due to sublimation I think. Haven't taken enough chemistry yet:pinch:

[elitistpig]

:lol: sublimation. Sublimation is change in phase from solid to gas.

There are several reasons smells go away, the most notable being the Second Law of Thermodynamics (all things in the universe tend to disorder). The smell dissipates because the individual molecules "want" to get away from each other. The force from the wind definitely helps as well. Also, the reason we don't smell it forever is because the sensory nerves are transient--so you don't smell that fart 3 weeks later and have trouble smelling other things.

Also, molecules don't simply "break down." They may form new compounds with other molecules if the First Law of Thermodynamics (energy is conserved) allows it (i.e. they will react exothermically and come to a lower Energy state). The only way to "break down" a molecule is to photolyze it with high-energy photons or bombard it with neutrons etc.

[Smith]

I didnt read the above post, but I think it has something to do with the life of the chemicals in skunk spray. After a certain time the chemicals degrate and turn back into the natural elements.

[Seedler]

Smith chnage your :ghey: avatar, it's starting to smell.:yup:

[limesqueezer]

Well you probably ain't serious.
The question should be more like why should a bad smell be any different than a good one. Flys love stinky smell, for them it is a good smell, they get high with it, similar like dogs. Big cities all have terrible smell but you don't even notice it, cause you live in shit, similar like fly, good becomes bad. The smell goes inside of you and becomes part of you. HAHA
But like mr. Smith said, its the same with all elements, not even the air you breathe stays the same when you breathe out.

What do enzymes do then?

Enzymes are proteins. They catalyze reactions by lowering their activation energy (most of these reactions would only occur at higher temperatures and/or pressures without having a catalyst--of course then we get into the differences between thermodynamics and kinetics). As far as the "only"/"etc," I was making the foolish assumption that people would understand that "photolyzing with high-energy electrons or bombarding with neutrons" means that we are putting a lot of energy into a closed system--meaning that any way of greatly increasing the energy (e.g. heating/increasing pressure) would break the molecule down. I didn't want to have to type this much :P

As for "forum chemist," j24k, I'm honored, although it may take away time from my other project, the non-existent *cough* Iranian nuclear weapons program *cough*. :lol:

I don't think it is fair that Scientists at times treat science a bit like an-in joke, speaking in code and excluding the lay-person, often looking down on them for their lack of understanding. If they were a bit more thoughtful, or less snobbish, and explained things in a more accessible way, it would make science more interesting and acceptible to the populus.
This also occurs between different factions of science, biologists versus chemists for example. As for psychologists....:noes:

In-jokes are the building blocks on which forums and societies are based. I like them, even if I'm not in on them (the latter may be a lie). Making science more amenable to people surely has its place but I don't think that place is here.

Do naughty Europeans have to go back to the US ( :dabs: ) or what?

But...some farts will kill all sense of smell within seconds.

For your information sweetpea, I have a masters degree in oceanography and an honours degree in biology. The point I was making was that through use of exessive terminology science is not made accessible to the general public. Riddling an explaination with shite that only a small percentage of your readership can understand is negating a full and just understanding of the subject.

If the author is accessible, so is the terminology.

Explanations are easily offered if clarity is lacking.

Or, I don't need to thinkn of a decent response, because I'm getting my B.Sc in Biochemistry and am going to med school next year and the dumbest American in my classes can understand what the product of the "superior" UK educational system cannot. I would think that an oceanographer with an "honours degree in biology" would have at least been required to take one or two physics class, although maybe they put it in the same category as the U.K. dental plan... (i.e. non-existent) :lol:

Seriously though, the vocabulary I used was not very technical at all. I was only ever fully explained everything in equations. You're lucky that I didn't just give you conservation of energy, ideal gas law equations, or the like. I'm not being paid to educate people and I really don't give a rat's ass if science is accessible to people or not. I'd rather that it isn't so that people have to work hard to learn it and have a deeper understanding than if they're shovelled s*** so they don't have to think. For instance, my wife took a biology class with a bunch of idiots who didn't understand what ATP was (which I'm sure CrabGirl can explain in wonderful, elementary detail) so the professor began calling it "pizza." The problem is, it's hard to explain how you can activate/deactivate pizza by phophorylation/dephosphorylation. Thus, they would have learned more if they didn't understand the concept fully in the first place; and instead of learning to call it "pizza," had learned to call it adenosine triphosphate.

You can say English should be properly judged by Englishmen, but I say you're our bitch in everything else so you should listen to me in this as well.

I'm too busy trying to do cancer research and contribute to the effort to find cures for cancer; and yes, that is plural, dumbass, and I'm not going to explain to you why. Do your homework.

Thank God Britain is our bitch and I'll be making 10x as much as you in a few years *yawn*. I used to wonder why the British follow us around whenever we decide to do something, like invade Iraq. It's not because you care as much as we do about the price of "petrol" (gas for those of us who speak English properly, or C8H18 to us chemists). It's because you guys are trying to live back in your glory days when you were actually an important country, rather than the has-beens you have become.

I didn't check all your other posts to see if you've made so many mistakes there as well, since I have a life, unlike you.

EDIT: I was just thinking, maybe Crab answered this already, but how does one get a biology degree in England without knowing what an enzyme is? I'm sure she has said or did say she knew what it was but you'd think that someone with an "honours" (honors) degree in biology would be able to ask me a more difficult question to try and stump me. Oh well, I guess the much-lauded British educational system isn't as great as it's cracked up to be.That's quite the inferiority complex you've got there. It appears to be manifesting itself such that you bring up your deep jealousy of the British Isles in the most unrelated of circumstance.

I won't, however, let that detract from the supreme sacrifice you made when taking the decision - after your day which included 10 hours of classes, a full time job and endeavouring to save humanity from cancer - to regale us with word-bricks.

You, sir, are a credit to your country.

I think you missed the point of Crabgirl's question, as indeed you have missed the point of most of her posts. Though whatever she has said seems to have gotten under your skin, hence the word-bricks and attacks on her whole nation.

What are you going to do if she replies again? Insult her family, her sex, her skin colour (color)?

Anyhow, science degrees are for losers. All the cool kids do Arts degrees.
