The primary odor component in the early smell of rotten eggs is hydrogen sulfide, which contains two elements, hydrogen and sulfur. If an egg rots long enough, it may contain other odorant substances.
What you smell that is so awful is hydrogen sulfide.
H2S is hydrogen sulphide. NOT the suffix ' ---ide'. It has the 'rotten eggs' smell. When opening a rotten egg, it is this gas that you smell.
The foul odor of a rotten egg smell in your home could be caused by a natural gas leak. It is important to evacuate the premises immediately and contact your gas company or emergency services for assistance.
A rotten egg represents a chemical change because the breakdown of the egg releases various gases and chemicals, changing its composition. The sulfur content in the egg reacts with water and creates hydrogen sulfide gas, leading to the distinct rotten smell associated with rotten eggs.
It may or may not...if there is some acid in the solution, then sulfur is a byproduct of the equation, which will lead to a sulfur smell. However, I don't feel like it would cause the smell, without at least a catalytic amount of acid.
That rotten egg smell is most likely emanating from the catalytic converter.

Bacteria goes into an egg trough any holes and then multiplies rapidly and forms an egg to be rotten.
Hydrogen sulphide (sulfide) is created by the chemical reaction when bacteria breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, as inside an egg.
A rotten egg smell can definitely make a person feel sick. This is especially the case if the person has a weak stomach.
Feces may have a rotten eggs smell due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide produced by bacteria.
Rotten eggs do smell bad, but spilt milk that has been left to dry can be a really offensive smell too.
