What happens to a banana when you put it in liquid nitrogen?

When you put a banana in liquid nitrogen, it freezes instantly due to the extremely low temperature of liquid nitrogen (-196°C). The banana becomes extremely brittle and can shatter easily. Once removed from the liquid nitrogen and allowed to thaw, the banana will turn mushy and soft as the cells have been damaged by the freezing process.


Can liquid nitrogen be put down the drain?

You can put it down the drain, nothing is really stopping you from doing so but you shouldn't put it down the drain. Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold and can have explosive consequences once it sublimates into a gas and could potentially burst your pipes.


What happens when you add liquid nitrogen to lava?

The liquid nitrogen has enough coldness to completely cool down lava, but also it has the exact same energy to make lava explode. Think of it as pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand, but if you don't put the right amount of heat (helium) and at the right time your your hand will fall off. Think of your hand falling off as explosion.


What happens when you put a lighted splint in nitrogen?

When you put a lighted splint in nitrogen, it will continue to burn but more slowly than in oxygen due to the lack of oxygen in nitrogen. Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not support combustion, so the splint will eventually go out.


Why does the water bottle containing liquid nitrogen explode?

Liquid Nitrogen in a water bottle will explode because of pressure build up. Liquid nitrogen vaporizes rather quickly and when it transitions from liquid to gas, the pressure increases if kept at the same volume. Think of boiling water in a closed container. It is similar to that but liquid nitrogen evaporates at much lower temperature, it will explode at room temperature. Let's say you submerged this water bottle below the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and put liquid nitrogen in the bottle, the bottle will not explode. It is a mechanical explosion (simple transfer of forces) not a chemical explosion like with hydrogen where hydrogen gas ignites.

What happens when you put boiling water and nitrogen together?

When boiling water and nitrogen gas come into contact, the nitrogen gas will liquefy and mix with the water. The liquid nitrogen will create a cooling effect on the water and eventually freeze it. This process is known as cryogenic cooling.

How to Convert Liquid nitrogen to nitrogen Gas?

This may not be as spectacular as you migh imagine. If one litre of liquid nitrogen turned to gas, then it would simply be no longer the liquid form of nitrogen, but the gas form of it. This starts to happen immediately: its te smoke like stuff coming of the liquid nitrogen. Nitrogen in its gas form is a normal part of our atmosphere, we need it to breathe, so one litre of LIQUID nitrogen turning to GAS nitrogen will not do anything cool., You need to put something in the liquid nitrogen, and as nitrogen can only be liquid at a very low temperature, what ever you put in it, will freeze and if you hit it it will break. Dont get any on you: it wil freeze your flesh off
