Answer 2

Oxidation is the chemical reaction behind the bad smell of potatoes.

• Potato chips are made by frying potatoes.
• It is a snack containing both fat and oil.
• When the fat and oil are exposed to oxygen, light, and temperature it undergoes oxidation.
• This process is known as rancidity.
• When potato chips are rancid, they will develop a bad smell and taste.
• It will be no longer edible.
• The packets of potato chips are filled with nitrogen which checks rancidity.
• Once the packet is opened, nitrogen gas escapes into the atmosphere and it is no more protected against rancidity.
