If it contained any liquid, it would freeze. If it did not contain any liquid, it would get VERY cold.

How does liquid nitrogen mand leaking pipes?

It doesn't mend the pipe. The pipe will still have a leak. However, you can use liquid nitrogen to freeze the water in a pipe and create a 'freeze block' which will prevent more liquid from getting to the leak. Once the freeze block is in place, it is much easier to repair the pipe leak.


What is the purpose of that method freeze etch techniques?

The purpose of the freeze-fracture technique is to examine the pattern of integral membrane proteins. The first step is to use liquid nitrogen to freeze the cells.


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


Why do you preserve cells in liquid nitrogen and not in deep freeze?

A deep freeze is not cold enough to preserve cells in a form that allows them to be thawed and "revived" later. Liquid nitrogen is much colder than a deep freeze. Liquid nitrogen freezes the cells so quickly that only very tiny ice crystals form in the cells. In an ordinary deep freeze the cells produce larger ice crystals which damage the cell's structure. This is also why it's hard to freeze raw fruits and vegetables successfully at home.


What happens to a onion after soaking in the liquid nitrogen?

It would freeze and become brittle, and shatter into small pieces if dropped onto a hard surface

What do you need to freeze something?

To freeze something, need need a way to lower it's temperature. Examples include putting it into a freezer, or dunking it in a barrel of 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.


Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?

No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.


What gas or liquid pumped into water would cause it to freeze instantly?

Liquid nitrogen can cause water to freeze instantly when pumped into it. Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature of -320°F (-196°C), causing the water to freeze rapidly upon contact.


Can liquid nitrogen freeze a bubble?

What kind of liquid do you use to freeze things?

As a general rule, liquids don't freeze things. But the gas, Liquid Nitrogen, can freeze things.


How long does it take to freeze an insect?

If you dip them into liquid nitrogen (LIN) they will freeze instantly.


How fast will liquid nitrogen freeze copper?

The regular definition of freezing something is when its turning it from liquid to solid, and since copper at room temperature alread is a solid it can't really be frozen. It can get colder though.


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.


Can there be liquid nitrogen?

Yes, liquid nitrogen exists. It is sold in strong, insulated containers and is used to instantly freeze biological specimens or tissue.


Can liquid nitrogen give you superpowers?

No. Liquid nitrogen is nothing like radioactive waste or a biological virus. It would freeze your hands off on contact.


Does liquid nitrogen freeze water?

Yes, liquid nitrogen has a temperature of around -320°F (-196°C), which is low enough to freeze water almost instantly upon contact. When liquid nitrogen comes into contact with water, the water rapidly freezes and forms ice.
