    No, the gas contains only a very small amount of hydrogen sulfide, which is not enough for combustion.

    Theoretically, no, but there are very few and a few can

    Yes, we have classmates who have done experiments, just like biogas.

    In a fart, there are 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 6% methane, 4% oxygen and just 1% hydrogen sulfide, of which, hydrogen and methane are flammable.

    Fart, in layman's terms, is the gas in the stomach. The taste of fart is different for everyone, depending on the diet, the bacteria in the stomach, or the individual's digestive ability. If you fart when you inhale air, it's usually just air; If it is caused by digestion or bacterial production, the chemical composition is very complex:

    Nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, methane, hydrogen sulfide, etc.

    Theoretically, a large amount of methane gas contained in a fart can be ignited, and there are also ** about the gas in the cow's body being ignited, but in reality, this situation is very rare, especially human fart, it is even more impossible.

    In the farts discharged by people, there is indeed methane, but its content is very small, most of them are carbon dioxide and other substances, which cannot be ignited at all, but it is not absolute, some farts containing relatively high methane can be ignited. Hold the lighter and place it where the "fart" is ejected, and you may see the flame increase instantly. Be safe, though.

    Especially in winter, if the concentration of this gas in the quilt is too high, static electricity can also ignite it.

    The experiment on igniting the fart is very dangerous, although it is unlikely to cause **, but the substance released by its violent combustion is also very scary, and it is very likely to burn and the like.

    OK.

    Farts are flammable, farts contain 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 4% oxygen, and less than 1% hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan (the smell of farts comes from sulfide), of which hydrogen and methane are combustible gases, but the farts that enter the air will be quickly diluted, so if you don't deliberately ignite the fart, there is generally no danger to life.

    In essence, if the hydrogen and methane in the fart reach a certain concentration, it can even happen**. In general, the fart will be diluted by the air immediately after it is released, so the concentration will not be very high.

    Gases emitted by other types of animals may cause greater harm.

    The methane energy contained in the emissions of ruminant livestock (cattle, sheep) accounts for 4-10% of the energy consumed by food, and the concentration of methane produced in the rumen of cattle can be as high as 25%, and if carbon dioxide is sequestered, it can be completely burned.

    However, the harm of methane lies not in its combustion, but in its greenhouse effect, which is 23 times that of carbon dioxide, and once it is emitted into the air, it is difficult to eliminate, and methane has become the second largest greenhouse gas.

    Due to the demand for meat, 66% of methane emissions from agricultural production are emitted by ruminant livestock raised globally, so countries are studying how to reduce animal emissions, that is, studying the emission problem of "cow fart".

    Most farts are created by E. coli and other bacteria in your gut. These bacteria eat the fermented food in your body and then fart together microscopically;

    The air you swallow and the alkaline secretions in your abdomen also have an effect on your fart. On average, a fart is made up of about 59 parts of nitrogen, 21 parts of hydrogen, 9 parts of carbon dioxide, 7 parts of methane, and 4 parts of oxygen – all of which are odorless.

    But less than that1 is made up of trace amounts of other chemicals – such as ammonia and skatosin. Usually, there is always hydrogen sulfide mixed in the fart, which mostly comes from the slime, giving the fart a rotten egg smell.

    Among them, hydrogen, methane, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide are flammable.

    The chemical composition of a fart is a mixture of five gases: nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and methane, commonly known as biogas.

    When food contains a lot of protein and hydrogen sulphide, it produces a lot of odour. Biogas and hydrogen sulfide are not only disgusting because of their great smell.

    Unpleasant, and more serious, it is also highly flammable when the concentration reaches a certain percentage!!

    Farts are mainly obtained by the fermentation of intestinal bacteria, mainly by anaerobic bacteria. The smell is because of ammonia.

    Methane, and a few other impurities.
