Yes, liquid nitrogen can cause rubber to become brittle and crack because of its extreme cold temperature. However, it won't "burn" through rubber in the way that a hot flame or acid would. The rapid cooling and contraction of the rubber may cause it to lose its flexibility and potentially break.

What would happen if you poured liquid helium into liquid nitrogen?

If you pour liquid helium into liquid nitrogen, the helium will not mix with the nitrogen and will instead form separate layers. Helium is lighter than nitrogen and has a lower boiling point, so the helium will tend to float on top of the nitrogen.


What happens if you spill liquid nitrogen over fire?

Spilling liquid nitrogen over fire would likely extinguish the fire due to the extremely cold temperature of the nitrogen (-320°F). The rapid evaporation of the liquid nitrogen would displace oxygen, which is essential for combustion, effectively smothering the flames.


Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?

Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.


What gas or liquid pumped into water would cause it to freeze instantly?

Liquid nitrogen can cause water to freeze instantly when pumped into it. Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature of -320°F (-196°C), causing the water to freeze rapidly upon contact.


Is liquid nitrogen legal in Florida?

Liquid nitrogen is used in a wide variety of applications. In particular, it's used in superconducting magnets, which means that Florida would be an incredibly stupid place to locate the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory if liquid nitrogen were illegal there. Want to guess where the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is? Yes, liquid nitrogen is legal in Florida.

Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling your house?

Yes, liquid nitrogen can be used to cool air passed through a heat exchanger. It is however a once through system. You would need a tank to hold the liquid nitrogen, and have more delivered every so often. very expensive.


What is the physical state of nitrogen at -200 Celsius?

At -200 degrees Celsius nitrogen is a liquid.


Can you make Pykrete by freezing the water and sawdust mixture with liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is very expensive for this task.


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 give you superpowers?

No. Liquid nitrogen is nothing like radioactive waste or a biological virus. It would freeze your hands off on contact.


What would happen if you lit a bucket of Liquid Nitrogen on Fire or used an explosive near it?

Nothing. Nitrogen is quite unreactive due to the triple bond between two nitrogen atoms. An explosive inside the liquid nitrogen would not ignite unless designed for the purpose.

Liquid nitrogen is -320 degrees does it have heat energy?

yes. It would cause liquid helium to boil if you mixed them.
