The major components of the flatus (which are odorless) by percentage are:
- Nitrogen 20% - 90%
- Hydrogen 0% - 50%
- Carbon Dioxide 10% - 30%
- Oxygen 0% - 10%
- Methane 0% - 10%
The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown.
burp.
A burp tends to be a small amount of gas leaving your stomach while a belch is a larger amount of gas leaving the stomach.
to release the gas in your stomach
The carbon dioxide in your soda comes out of solution into a gas phase. These CO2 gas bubbles build up in your stomach and you burp. That's why you often burp after eating a meal rapidly - you swallow a lot of air. Many different gases are found in burps, though when you drink soda the majority of the gas in burps is CO2.
what I understands starts a burp is gas getting trapped in the stomach, therefore needs a way out, causing you to burp
gas captured in stomach, usually swallowed.
The gas that comes from the mouth is called "exhaled air," and it mainly consists of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, and traces of other gases. Burping is another way that gas can be expelled from the stomach through the mouth.
Burp - to expel gas from the stomach. Gas coming from the stomach to the throat makes a sound when it reaches near the voice box.
The gas builds up in your stomach and you burp.
eructation the act of belching or raising gas orally from the stomach
In microgravity environments like space, the lack of gravity does not allow gas to separate from liquid in your stomach, making it difficult to burp. This could lead to discomfort or bloating for astronauts.
Well, soda travels into the stomach instead of the lungs, and when you burp you evacuate the CO2 gas from your stomach.
