A particular substance isn't itself the "coldest" or "hottest." Substances can exist at many temperatures, and every single substance can be as cold as you want it to be! If you had a very special refrigerator, you could bring any substance down to absolute zero (which is 0 K or -273.15 °C or -459.4 °F)! Absolute zero is as cold as you can go, but cannot be achieved due to a law of physics known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and certain Entropy related laws of Thermodynamics.
We often think of things like liquid nitrogen as being very cold, and that's true. But there is nothing special about the nitrogen... it is a substance like anything else, it has just cooled to very low temperature. Think about hot water from the faucet and an ice cube -- they are both just water. There is nothing special about the ice cube except that it was in the freezer, whereas the hot water was heated.
Liquid gases are very cold (because if they warm up, they don't remain liquids, but turn back into gases). So liquid nitrogen is very cold (liquid nitrogen boils at boils at 77.35 K, which is -195.8 °C or -320.44 °F. However, liquid hydrogen would be much colder because it boils at 20.268 K, which is -252.88 °C or -423.184 °F). But frozen or solid hydrogen would be colder yet! The freezing point of hydrogen gas is 14.03 K, which is -259.13 °C or -434.425 °F. Now that's cold! Liquid helium has the lowest boiling point of all the elements, with a boiling point of 4.125 K and a freezing point of 0.95 K!
What else can I help you with?
Does silicone spray freeze?
Silicone spray does not freeze at typical household freezer temperatures. It has a low freezing point, around -130°F (-90°C), which makes it resistant to freezing in most normal conditions.
What organism will not survive on freezing temperature?
Most bacteria and many other microorganisms can survive freezing temperatures by entering a dormant state, but many higher organisms, such as most plants and animals, will not survive freezing. For instance, delicate insects like certain butterflies or frogs may not withstand freezing temperatures due to ice formation in their cells, leading to lethal damage. Additionally, warm-blooded animals, such as mammals, are particularly vulnerable to freezing conditions without adequate insulation or shelter. Overall, while some organisms can endure freezing, many cannot and will perish under such conditions.
Do they make rust resistant nails?
Galvanized dont rust. They are coated with zinc to keep the oxygen reacting with the iron in most steel.
What happens to most microbes in the freezer?
Most microbes, including bacteria and fungi, enter a dormant state when exposed to freezing temperatures, as the low temperatures inhibit their metabolic processes. While freezing can effectively halt their growth and reproduction, it does not necessarily kill all microbes; some can survive and reactivate when thawed. However, certain types of bacteria, particularly those with protective mechanisms, may withstand freezing better than others. Overall, freezing is a useful method for preserving microbial samples and food products by limiting microbial activity.
When are the most hydrogen bonds likely to reform between water molecules in a lake?
The most hydrogen bonds are formed when temperatures on the lake drop to freezing. The molecules spread out and attract to each other in a dipole effect.
What is an area where temperatures are below freezing most of the year?
have you tried a place where the temperatures are below freezing for most of the year
Does silicone spray freeze?
Silicone spray does not freeze at typical household freezer temperatures. It has a low freezing point, around -130°F (-90°C), which makes it resistant to freezing in most normal conditions.
What is the method of food preservation?
Drying or freezing most likely. Depending on if the area has freezing temperatures or not.
Can a crocodile live in a freezing lake?
The American alligator is able to survive in water temperatures approaching freezing during winter. Most crocodiles are tropical and would not survive long in freezing temperatures.
How tough is iridium?
Discovered in 1803, Iridium is the most corrosion-resistant metal known. It is not affected by high temperatures or acids. It has a melting point of 4471°F and a boiling point of 8002°F.
Which diamond is the most resistant to damage?
A diamond with fewer internal flaws is most resistant to damage, as well as one that is well-set in metal.
What kind of metal are diamonds most likely mounted in?
most likely silver as this metal is resistant to corrosion (breaking down/rusting)
What briefcase is the most crush resistant?
Metal cases are the best for impact resistance.
What types of metal patio furniture are most weather-resistant?
Aluminum Patio furniture is the most widely offered weather resistant furniture. These are purchasable from most patio furniture dealerships.
Does stab-resistant vest have metal inserts?
No, most stab resistant vests are made of lexan panels. Some have the panels sewn into the vest, others have them in pockets.
Can you hunt with hounds in Alaska?
Yes, but not when it's freezing, or they'll most likely die in -94 F temperatures.
Why does Uranus have ice but no water?
The temperatures on Uranus are far below the freezing point of water, and most other ices.
