irritating smell of acrolein, CH2=CH-CHO.
KHSO4 is used in the acrolein test to convert glycerol to acrolein, which is the compound being tested for. It acts as a dehydrating agent, helping to break down glycerol into acrolein, which can then be detected based on its characteristic smell and color reaction.
Potassium chloride is odorless. It is a salt commonly used as a food additive and in medical settings, but it does not have a distinct smell.
When potassium iodide (KI) is mixed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the reaction will produce hydrogen iodide gas (HI) and potassium bisulfate (KHSO4) as products.
The acrolein test tests for the presence of glycerin or fats. There is no general equation for it, although the sample is heated with potassium bisulfate and if acrolein is released, the test is positive.
It is a difficult to describe odor, Acrid and reminiscent of urine mixed with cleaning products. It's best described as the smell of crushed ants. That said, some people can't smell ants, this is why many people can't smell formic acid.
When lard is mixed with glycerol and potassium bisulfate, it undergoes a dehydration reaction that can produce an odor reminiscent of fatty acids. This occurs as glycerol is dehydrated, leading to the formation of acrolein, which has a sharp, pungent smell. The overall scent may be characterized as a mixture of burnt fat and acrid notes due to the breakdown of the fat components in lard.

When Potassium is put in water, it reacts vigorously. It sends out a purple flame and it makes a small explosion. You can also smell the smell of burnt fumes.

if you smell like curry .
I'd love to know the answer to that as well.
Walruses smell like old fish mixed with seawater, not that you'd want to smell one :)
Potassium helps the body's digestions, Baygon helps the body avoid mosquitoes.
because of the waste products mixed into it
It is used to stabilize a wine to prevent it from starting the second (malolactic) fermentation. It should be used together with potassium metabisulfite to avoid producing a bad smell called "geranium smell".
Freon mixed with refrigerate oil will have a slight smell.................
