If you put something in Liquid nitrogen that does not contain water would it still freeze?

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


When a liquid loses heat what do they do to go a solid?

Freeze.


Will A liquid will freeze when it absorbs heat energy?

No, a liquid will not freeze when it absorbs heat energy. In fact, freezing occurs when a liquid loses heat energy, allowing its molecules to slow down and arrange into a solid structure. Absorbing heat increases the energy of the molecules, typically leading to a phase change from liquid to gas, not from liquid to solid.


What will happen if you take away heat?

It depends on what you are taking the heat from. If you take the heat away from a gas it becomes a liquid, which is called condensation. If you take heat away from a liquid it becomes a solid, and that is called freezing.


What happens when heat energy is taken from a liquid?

When heat energy is taken from a liquid, the temperature of the liquid decreases, causing the molecules to slow down and come closer together. If enough heat is removed, the liquid can eventually freeze and become a solid.


When a liquid freezes does it give off heat?

yes as long as there is movement in the atoms there is heat. When a liquid freezes heat is removed to the freeze point, but there is still heat in the liquid


How fast does 4oz of water freeze?

Freezing rate depends on the surface area, the heat transfer medium, and its temperature. If it is a thin layer (large surface area) of water it would freeze faster than a thick layer (smaller surface area). A liquid heat transfer medium, like liquid nitrogen, would have a higher heat transfer rate than a gas, like air. Lastly, the colder the heat transfer medium, the faster the heat transfer rate, the faster the water would freeze.


What happens if you take away heat from a gas?

If a gas was removed from all heat sources, it would turn into a liquid and possibly freeze depending on how cold you were able to get it. Heat causes the gas molecules to vibrate which ultimately leads to an increase in volume and a decrease in density. Reduction of heat causes the molecules to vibrate less which leads to a decrease in volume and an increase in density.


How does liquid nitrogen freeze things?

Liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature of around -196°C, which is much colder than the freezing point of water. When an object is submerged in liquid nitrogen, its high thermal conductivity quickly transfers heat away from the object, causing it to freeze rapidly. This rapid cooling process can solidify or freeze objects almost instantly.


Do you have to add or take heat away in order to make something freeze?

To make something freeze, you typically have to remove heat rather than add it. The removal of heat causes the substance to reach a lower temperature, eventually leading to the solidification process. This is known as the process of freezing.


How can water exist as both a solid and a liquid at degrees Celsius?

Ice does not melt all at once, and water does not freeze all at once. If you add heat energy to ice, it will melt at 0 oC. If you take away heat energy, water will freeze at 0 oC. The temperature will not change until the phase change is complete, so during the phase change, both liquid water and ice will be present.


What does freezeing mean?

the withdrawal of heat to change something from a liquid to a solid freeze is when a liquid turns back into a solid. or if it is cold outside instead of cold you could use the word freeze or freezing
