a not so rubbish posthaha OMG i had an extremely intriguing thought today i just have to write it down even though im supposed to be studying for my bio econs and gp test next week omgomgomg
anyway what happened was that someone farted while i was running this morning and i got so grossed out but since i was running, a random question popped into my head.
why do people fart?
the gas produced must have come from some neutralisation reaction and I THINK it occurs when we eat food- stomach acid is neutralised by the food we eat.
the gas passes through the walls of the various intestines and whatever rubbish, carrying little particles of sulphur, ammonia, iron, magnesium, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen as it passes through our digestive passage- i dont know, random particles?( i made up all those particles i dont really know what fart is made of but it can be deduced haha. and its highly random deduction but who cares, the combination stinks.)
the gas must have some kind of pressure, since its confined within the walls of our rectum- if so then what is the pressure needed for the gas to be a fart?
and what is the partial pressure for each of these gases- what is the gas that contributes most to a fart?
i think this is also why girls dont fart alot, food is a limiting reagent (in girls, since they eat so little) and stomach acid is in excess, so the amount of gas produced will only by rights be in proportion: litttttllleeee.
now i was always wondering why guys fart so much and girls hardly fart.
but seriously i was laughing like anything.
cant believe i actually thought this.
cant believe i never knew the coolness of chemistry.
anyway, ALL THE BEST IF YOU'RE RECEIVING YOUR A LEVEL RESULTS TOMORROW!(:
i would be freaking out two years time at this very same period of time.
