What is the chemical compound of a fart?

Answer 1

Those have nothing to do with each other. Smelling is something your body does to take in orders, and a chemical reaction is a reaction that cannot be reversed. Thus, smelling does not have anything to do with a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

A fart is primarily composed of gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane, along with trace amounts of sulfur-containing compounds like hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan.

Answer 3

While I am not 100% sure of everything chemically involved in a fart, I believe the biggest part of it is 'Methane (CH4)'. That should account for a large part of the smell at least.

Answer 4

1. Formation of gases is a chemical reaction.

2. Elimination of gases by burping is a physical process.

Answer 5

Yes, the change of odor may be a sign for a chemical reaction.

Answer 6

yes
