The road that led us to that vision began decades ago as we responded to consumer trends with the launch of snus in pouch format in 1973, thus reinvigorating the snus category. We took a further step down the road when we divested the cigarette business in 1999. This journey has continued more recently through our focus on smokefree alternatives in new formats, new categories and in new geographies. Swedish Match continues to adapt and raise the benchmark, in quality, performance, and consumer satisfaction for its smokefree products.

  • Whoosh Bottle
    Whoosh Bottle Introduction SCIENTIFIC Wow your students with a whoosh! Students will love to see the blue alcohol flame shoot out the mouth of the bottle and watch the dancing flames pulsate in the jug as more air is drawn in. Concepts • Exothermic reactions • Activation energy • Combustion Background Low-boiling alcohols vaporize readily, and when alcohol is placed in a 5-gallon, small-mouthed jug, it forms a volatile mixture with the air. A simple match held by the mouth of the jug provides the activation energy needed for the combustion of the alcohol/air mixture. Only a small amount of alcohol is used and it quickly vaporizes to a heavier-than-air vapor. The alcohol vapor and air are all that remain in the bottle. Alcohol molecules in the vapor phase are farther apart than in the liquid phase and present far more surface area for reaction; therefore the combustion reaction that occurs is very fast. Since the burning is so rapid and occurs in the confined space of a 5-gallon jug with a small neck, the sound produced is very interesting, sounding like a “whoosh.” The equation for the combustion reaction of isopropyl alcohol is as follows, where 1 mole of isopropyl alcohol combines with 4.5 moles of oxygen to produce 3 moles of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water: 9 (CH3)2CHOH(g) + ⁄2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) ∆H = –1886.6 kJ/mol Materials Isopropyl alcohol, (CH3)2CHOH, 20–30 mL Graduated cylinder, 25-mL Whoosh bottle, plastic jug, 5-gallon Match or wood splint taped to meter stick Fire blanket (highly recommended) Safety shield (highly recommended) Funnel, small Safety Precautions Please read all safety precautions before proceeding with this demonstration.
