Rotten Eggs Hydrogen Sulfide Production
On whether stinky eggs produce hydrogen sulfide
It is common to hear that stinky eggs have a foul odor. However, there are different opinions on whether stinky eggs produce hydrogen sulfide.
Or, the reason why stinky eggs stink is because the substances in the eggs are rotten. The composition of eggs contains a lot of sulfur proteins. When eggs are rotten, bacteria grow in them and decompose proteins. Sulfur may be converted into hydrogen sulfide after being metabolized by bacteria. Looking at life, the smell of stinky eggs is similar to the smell of hydrogen sulfide, which is a proof.
There are also people who hold different opinions. They think that the stinky smell of stinky eggs, although similar to hydrogen sulfide, may not be caused by hydrogen sulfide. The process of egg decay is complicated, and a variety of substances are generated, or other substances together cause this odor, so it is impossible to determine the production of hydrogen sulfide.
To determine whether a stinky egg produces hydrogen sulfide, it should be tested by scientific methods. Stinky eggs can be placed in a sealed container, the gas produced by them can be collected, and tested with chemical reagents. If the reagent has a specific reaction with hydrogen sulfide, it can be known whether a stinky egg produces hydrogen sulfide.
To sum up, whether a stinky egg produces hydrogen sulfide cannot be judged solely by smell, but must be determined by rigorous scientific experiments.
