what would happen if you could not release gas?

You would probably explode at some point.\n\nThere would be a lot less democrats. lol

Sure it is possible.  It is a continuous system from mouth to anus, so the gas produced during digestion could theoretically all travel upwards.  There are valves at various points ( in and out of the stomach, for example), so it would require some tricky timing for the gases to get from the intestines back through, but not impossible, I guess

It cant go bad as it is a compound (propane usually) which needs to have a chemical reaction in order to change its properties. In saying this the tank could be "bad" in which case the gas could have escaped and has emptied the tank. Once the gas has all leaked out to equalise the pressure from outside to inside the tank the gas could then mix with normal air and eventually mix so much that there is basically only normal air left.

No, it would still freeze in an air free enviroment, though it expands so would destroy the container. Try filling an empty bottle completly with water (and therefore no air) and seal it so the air can't get in. It will still frezze without taking on air, and probably cause the bottle to split or strech.

no, unless you can swim in carbon dioxide gas

You could die if it erupted

lol?..you will be floating around..we will have very low bone density...no muscular people and our muscles will defect greatly...well other than that a fart will be a rocket

yes. A fart is compressed methane extracted from food which you have eaten. Methane is easily combustible. Don't fart near a hot flame

try to eat asparagus.. then lock yer self inside a cabinet...then fart as hard a you could....then tell me what happens

No, any air put into her lungs at any depth would cause an Aretial Gas Embolism. An air bubble would go straight into her bloodstream and spell certain doom. So for your own personal referrance never ever take a breath off a scuba regulator if you are freedivng (holding your breath from the surface). The difference in pressure even 6 ft cold be fatal.

First, you wouldn't wanna do that.\nSecond, you wouldn't wanna be around it when it is done.\nAnd third, I think it would gain energy from the surroundings, which would be C4, and evaporate without leaving a residue. So you would be back to square one after a while.

No sir you would not be able to take an infinite breath. Your body is constantly producing CO2 so in a few minutes your magical breath of pure oxygen would run dangerously (due to exchange of gases) low and you will pass out, lapse in to a comma, and proceed to die. Its a true story.

easy\n\nchemical process, when we process foods we divide the food with the stomach acids, this creates a chemical efect that relises butane and other gases in your intestine, when you fart, you can truly light up your fart and it will burst..\n\nlol but dont do it with out underwear or you will have bad experiences :(

I suspect it depends on the volume of the flatus.  More gas = more methane.

OK... let's get graphic.\nFirst off..... you'd die! No way around that!\nWhat would kill you first is the question.\nSpace is incredibly cold, so instant exposure to space would freeze almost all liquid in your body solid.\nSpace is also a HUGE vaccum, so all the air would be sucked out of you either while you're freezing solid, of during your freezing process.... either way, you'd suffocate if you didn't freeze by some miracle.\nSpace has absolutely no compromising pressure like the inside of our atmospere. Our bodies are used to a certain atmosperic pressure. Without it (I.E in space) if you didn't freeze or suffocate, eventually the lack of pressure would collapse our fragile bodies.\nThe possibilities for death are indeed endless.

not sure, i think its some kind of gas?

Just make sure you are swimming slightly b/c if you are not moving you will get a heat shield ora thing around you. Similar to that fume thing when you put gas in your car.
