What happens to a banana when you put it in liquid nitrogen?
its particles freeze to make it solid
Why is frozen liquid nitrogen dangerous?
Well technically if it was frozen then it would not be a liquid. The reason why liquid nitrogen is dangerous is because of its low temperatures. To have nitrogen which is normally a gas to become a liquid you must make the temperature extremely low. If you stick anything into this liquid nitrogen it will freeze it. This is because it is below the freezing point for most organic structures but now below the freezing point for nitrogen. For nitrogen to become a solid the temperatures must go even lower.
Does liquid nitrogen Sublimate?
Liquid nitrogen is not dry ice. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen in liquid form. Dry ice is frozen nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is also frozen nitrogen, but is also pressurized. That's why it's in large, steel boxes. Chur.
Advantages and disadvantages of nitrogen?
It is more simple to transport liquid nitrogen compared to gaseous nitrogen.
What is colder liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen?
Liquid nitrogen is simply nitrogen gas in its liquid state. The stuff is so cold you can consider it like an acid if you are ever stupid enough to stick your finger in there without cryogenic protection. By immersing them in liquid nitrogen you can turn marshmallows hard as bullets, shatter flowers like glass, turn a soft peach into something that can hammer nails into wood, and a whole lot of other things.
If liquid nitrogen freezes everything why is itself a liquid?
liquid nitrogen will not freeze everything. Hydrogen and helium will remain a gas when exposed to liquid nitrogen.
Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?
No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.
Can liquid nitrogen freeze a bubble?
only in imaginationland
Does liquid nitrogen freeze water?
Of course, it is possible !
What kind of liquid do you use to freeze things?
As a general rule, liquids don't freeze things. But the gas, Liquid Nitrogen, can freeze things.
How long does it take to freeze an insect?
If you dip them into liquid nitrogen (LIN) they will freeze instantly.
What gas or liquid pumped into water would cause it to freeze instantly?
Liquid nitrogen
How does liquid nitrogen freeze things?
Under normal circumstances, liquid nitrogen is at a temperature of less than -196C - pretty cold!!!
Can there be liquid nitrogen?
Yes, liquid nitrogen exists. It is sold in strong, insulated containers and is used to instantly freeze biological specimens or tissue.
Can liquid nitrogen give you superpowers?
No. Liquid nitrogen is nothing like radioactive waste or a biological virus. It would freeze your hands off on contact.
If you put something in Liquid nitrogen that does not contain water would it still freeze?
If it contained any liquid, it would freeze. If it did not contain any liquid, it would get VERY cold.
Can liquid in lungs freeze?
Yes, if you somehow manage to breathe liquid nitrogen or some other refrigerant.
