Can liquid nitrogen burn metal?

No. Burning is generally something that occurs at an elevated temperature. Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic material; it is terribly cold. It is possible for liquid nitrogen to turn some metals as brittle as glass or a candy cane, making them easy to break. But it cannot burn metal, thermically nor chemically.


Why is a hot water burn worse than a metal burn at the same temperature?

Part of it has to do with the difference in specific heat(the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval), where water has a specific heat that is typically much higher than a given metal. Another part has to do with the fact that water is a liquid, meaning it can flow, and its adhesive(attraction between unlike molecules) properties that cause it to stick to your skin. So, the hot water stores more energy than the metal at the same temperature, and touching it causes it to stick to you, unlike metal which one can typically pull away from. These factors lead to a worse burn


On a hot humid day a measure of how cool the human skin can become is the?

A measure of how cool the human skin can become on a hot humid day is through the process of sweating and evaporation. When we sweat, moisture on our skin evaporates, taking away heat and cooling the skin. This helps regulate our body temperature.


What temperature do you get a first degree burn?

Name the location in the body of temperature receptors that monitor the external temperature?

Why does your finger burn when you touch a hot metal spoon?

When you touch a hot metal spoon, heat energy is transferred from the spoon to your finger through a process called conduction. The metal spoon has a higher temperature than your skin, causing rapid heat transfer. This sudden increase in temperature stimulates the pain receptors in your skin, resulting in the sensation of burning. The higher the temperature of the spoon and the longer the contact, the more severe the burning sensation will be.

What temperature can a liquid or semi-liquid substance burn or scald the skin?

like earths outer core is having temperature between 4000 C to 5000 C which can complete burn us and present in liquid form. Now forget about this, just imagine a cup of tea, it can have temperature from 80 C to 120 C and also it can burn our skin.


What type of acid will burn human skin without side effects?

Battery Acid. It can burn right through the human flesh and completely "disolve" it. Sulphuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric--all of these are are strong because they all completely ionize in water, all can destroy skin if the concentration is great enough.


Why doesn't our skin burn in sauna?

If boiling water is poured on skin, the skin burns. But sauna does not burn our skin even though the temperature in sauna is close to 100˚C. The reason is that the air inside sauna has very little moisture. If the air in sauna was humid, the skin would burn.
