Interesting question. Helium has an exceptionally low heat capacity (no vibrational or rotational modes), but theoretically it would be possible if the helium were cold enough and there were enough of it. If you're asking if room temperature helium has some magical lung-freezing power... no, it does not.

Every liquid, with the single exception of liquid helium, will eventually freeze if it gets cold enough. Helium, however, does not freeze.

Why is sucking on helium dangerous?

It is possible that you may pass out or faint after a while of inhaling the helium because the helium intake reduces your oxygen level by a ton. Helium displaces and replaces Oxygen in the lungs. So even while you are still breathing, the O2 in your lungs drops. That means your blood circulating O2 drops as well. You get less oxygen to your brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys--the vital organs. Though safe when a physician or dentist administers helium, it CAN kill when used improperly, huffed, sucked, or misused. The biggest problem is by the time you pass out, your brain will keep telling the lungs to take air, but the helium still in your lungs will continue to block the O2 from reaching your brain. You can die.


What element is used to freeze things?

Liquid nitrogen is commonly used to freeze things due to its extremely low temperature of -196 degrees Celsius. It is often used in laboratories and industrial settings to quickly freeze biological samples or materials.

What happens when you inhale helium?

When you inhale helium, your voice may sound higher-pitched because helium is less dense than the air in your lungs, causing the speed of sound to increase. However, inhaling too much helium can be dangerous as it can displace oxygen in your lungs, leading to difficulty breathing and potentially harmful side effects. It is not recommended to inhale helium for fun or as a prank.


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.


Why does helium make your voice higher?

Since helium is seven times lighter than air, when your lungs are full of helium and you begin to speak, the compression waves of the sound of your voice move faster through the helium until they are expelled from your lungs. At that point, the waves are quickly slowed. However, the ear detects more closely bunched sound waves as a higher pitch, such as those moving moving more rapidly through the helium.


How do you drink helium as a soft drink?

Helium is a noble gas, not suitable for human consumption. Inhaling helium directly from a canister or balloon can be dangerous as it can displace oxygen in your lungs, leading to suffocation. It is important to be cautious and avoid inhaling helium in this way.
