There is a reasonable amount of oxygen in farts? Really?

[–] Depress_Mode@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

4% of a fart is oxygen, according to the article, which is enough to react with all of the hydrogen-sulfide, since 1 mole of oxygen is enough to react with more than 1 mole of hydrogen-sulfide (H₂S makes up around 1% of the total volume).

What if we add oxygen absorbers in the jar as well ?

Persumebly not but there is oxygen in the air, usually.
