Is liquid nitrogen hazardous?
Yes, liquid nitrogen is esentially nitrogen that is at a very low temperature. It can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue and result in cold burns so care must be taken when handling liquid nitrogen. It is often used for culinary purposes in the making of ice cream and to create a smoky effect.
What is nitrogen used for for kids?
nitrogen is used for experiments like: trying to turn a liquid into a solid nitrogen can do that for you
Why is liquid nitrogen used in beer cans over liquid oxygen?
The answer is, liquid nitrogen ISN'T used in beer cans. Nitrogen GAS is. And the reason nitrogen gas is used in beer cans is to emulate draft beer such as one would get out of a keg(as opposed to cask) beer.
Is liquid nitrogen flamable?
no. In some situations nitrogen is used to put out fires.
Is liquid nitrogen used to shrink metals?
It has been used for this.
Why is liquid nitrogen used for freezing warts?
it is easy to use. easy to get, effective, and cheap.
What is the chemical in wart freezing products?
Liquid nitrogen is the acid used to freeze a wart. It will in turn burn the wart.
Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling water?
Yes, If you pass liquid nitrogen through water, it will cool the water. It will cool it to the point of freezing and then down to about -300F if you continue to pass it through the ice.

Is cryogenic freezing related to nitrogen?
Cryogenic freezing is certainly related to nitrogen. In order to complete a deep cryogenic treatment a cryogen must be used. The least expensive cryogen for deep freezing is liquid nitrogen. Another cryogen is helium which allows special made cryogenic processors to reach temperatures approaching absolute zero.
Why is liquid nitrogen used to fast freeze food instead of liquid oxygen?
There are two reasons. First, liquid nitrogen is colder than liquid oxygen and thus more effective at flash freezing. Second, liquid oxygen is a fire hazard; it creates an atmosphere of pure oxygen that allows substances to burn more easily. Nitrogen does not support combustion.
What is nitrogen used for besides freezing food?
fertilizer.
How is nitrogen used today?
Nitrogen in various forms is used as a farm fertilizer, where it potentiates plant growth. Liquid Nitrogen has wide uses from medicine, to flash freezing of material, to use as a coolant in vacuum pumps. Nitric Acid and Ammonia are important base chemicals in industry.

Can nitrogen used as a fuel in cars?
Yes , it can be. A living example is a Liquid Nitrogen Vehicle.A liquid nitrogen vehicle is powered by liquid nitrogen, which is stored in a tank. Traditional nitrogen engine designs work by heating the liquid nitrogen in a heat exchanger, extracting heat from the ambient air and using the resulting pressurized gas to operate a piston or rotary engine. Vehicles propelled by liquid nitrogen have been demonstrated, but are not used commercially.
Is liquid nitrogen flamable?
no. In some situations nitrogen is used to put out fires.
