Liquid nitrogen can cause severe frostbite and tissue damage upon contact with skin due to its extremely low temperature of -196 degrees Celsius. It can also cause rapid expansion when exposed to heat, leading to possible explosion hazards in closed containers. When added to water, liquid nitrogen can cause rapid boiling and create a dense fog due to the condensation of water vapor in the air.

What happens when liquid nitrogen reacts with silver?

The silver gets really, really cold and the nitrogen evaporates. When the "reaction" is done, you still have elemental silver. If you want any silver nitrate (AgNO3), you have to react nitric acid with silver.


Is the boiling of liquid nitrogen endothermic?

Yes, the boiling of liquid nitrogen is an endothermic process because it requires energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the nitrogen molecules together in the liquid state. This energy is absorbed from the surroundings, making the process endothermic.


What happens to aluminum when left in a bath of liquid nitrogen?

It would get cold. I don't expect the aluminium to react with the nitrogen.


Is liquid nitrogen supposed to be left on the skin after treatment?

Nitrogen must be cooled to a very low temperature to become liquid nitrogen. At room temperature, liquid nitrogen will change from the liquid phase to the gas phase. Therefore, if the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen will almost instantly become a gas and evaporate away from the skin. It is impossible to "leave" it on the skin, as this reaction is almost instantaneous and no liquid nitrogen is left behind.


What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?

when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.

What happens if you add liquid nitrogen to lava?

It is almost impossible to find out as there is no such reason to try it. But I think there would be a chemical reaction and the lava would most probably cool down or explode!! Not really sure...


How do you separate nitrogen gas from a mixture of nitrogen gas and liquid nitrogen?

You can separate nitrogen gas from liquid nitrogen by allowing the liquid nitrogen to evaporate at room temperature or by heating it to increase the rate of evaporation. The nitrogen gas will separate from the liquid nitrogen as it evaporates, leaving behind the liquid nitrogen.


What is colder - liquid nitrogen or liquid heluim?

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.


What is the solvent and solute in liquid nitrogen?

There is neither a solvent nor solute in liquid nitrogen as it is not a solution. Liquid nitrogen is pure elementalnitrogen in liquid form.
