Below 63 K, -346°F nitrogen freezes and becomes a solid. Above 77.2 K, nitrogen boils and becomes a gas.

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.


What are some examples of liquids that don't freeze?

Some examples of liquids that do not freeze at typical temperatures include liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, and liquid mercury.


Does liquid nitrogen freeze water?

Yes, liquid nitrogen has a temperature of around -320°F (-196°C), which is low enough to freeze water almost instantly upon contact. When liquid nitrogen comes into contact with water, the water rapidly freezes and forms ice.


How fast will liquid nitrogen freeze 1 cubic foot of ocean water when added directly to it?

The time it takes for liquid nitrogen to freeze 1 cubic foot of ocean water would depend on various factors including the initial temperature of the ocean water, the volume of liquid nitrogen added, and the surrounding conditions. Typically, liquid nitrogen is extremely cold at around -320°F and would quickly freeze the water upon contact.


How does liquid nitrogen freeze things?

Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature of around -196°C, which is much colder than the freezing point of water. When an object is submerged in liquid nitrogen, its high thermal conductivity quickly transfers heat away from the object, causing it to freeze rapidly. This rapid cooling process can solidify or freeze objects almost instantly.

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 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.
