[NewCandle] Gallium for Al H2O reaction rate

[Keith Nagel]

OK, this is what I thought as well, but Fred thought
it might not. He was wondering if the resulting gas/whatever
would burn. I thought it was lye in water vapor, but
now I am wondering. It's got to be dissolved in water,
the crystals don't smell. If I heat a lye solution after
it's had a chance to dissolve, will that smell the same?
I don't remember that it did, but then I try to keep
my nose out of other peoples lyes.

Can't you tell a lye, or can't you tell why it is isn't lye?

Seriously - having grown up about 20 miles from a pulp mill (Bowaters), 
it commonly assumed that the smell is intrinsic to the chemical itself, 
and not a reaction product - why would it be anything else? ... wood 
pulp smells nice by itself ... or I guess I should ask, why would you 
think it was anything but the lye?
