It's obviously very cold: -321 degrees Fahrenheit and it feels just like water, only superchilled.
Yes, I've touched it. Yes, I know you're not supposed to, but it's not like I immersed my hand in it.
correction: this guy is wrong. the reality of the matter is that your hand is so hot to the liquid nitrogen that it boils and evaporates far before it can do any damage. I still do not advise plunging a limb in a swirling vat of it, but a fingertip is okay. It will not feel like anything because the warmth coming from your hand will evaporate it before it can touch you. I also do not advise prolonged contact.
What else can I help you with?
Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is a compound, specifically dinitrogen (N2), since it consists of nitrogen molecules made up of two nitrogen atoms bonded together. It is the liquid form of the nitrogen gas found in our atmosphere.
Can liquid nitrogen gas be condensed?
Yes, liquid nitrogen gas can be condensed to form liquid nitrogen. This is done by lowering the temperature of the gas to its boiling point (-196°C) or below, causing it to condense into a liquid state. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in various applications such as cryogenic freezing and cooling.
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.
Can liquid nitrogen be contaminated?
Yes, liquid nitrogen can become contaminated if it comes into contact with substances or materials that are not meant to be frozen or stored in liquid nitrogen. Contamination can affect the purity and properties of the liquid nitrogen, so it is important to handle and store it properly to prevent contamination.
Who discovered liquid nitrogen?
Liquid nitrogen was first discovered by Scottish physicist James Dewar in 1898. Dewar was experimenting with the properties of gases at low temperatures when he noticed nitrogen turning into a liquid state.
Is nitrogen safe to touch?
You are touching nitrogen right now- almost 80% of the air touching you is nitrogen gas. Quite safe. LIQUID nitrogen is another matter- it is an extremely cold liquid that will freeze your skin on contact.
What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?
when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
What phase is liquid nitrogen in at room temperature?
Liquid nitrogen is liquid.
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?
Liquid helium is a lot colder than liquid nitrogen.
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.
How can prepare nitrogen liquid?
The liquid nitrogen is prepared by fractional distillation of liquid air.
What if liquid nitrogen was poured on the floor?
Liquid nitrogen is quickly evaporated.
Is liquid nitrogen a fluid or a solid?
liquid nitrogen is probably a fluid.
Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is a compound, specifically dinitrogen (N2), since it consists of nitrogen molecules made up of two nitrogen atoms bonded together. It is the liquid form of the nitrogen gas found in our atmosphere.
Is liquid nitrogen a pure substance or a mixture?
Liquid nitrogen is a pure substance because it consists of only nitrogen molecules in liquid form.
