If you drop a piece of rubber in liquid nitrogen, (in a dewar, where the liquid nitrogen does not boil that fast), then the rubber will be frozen.
In that sense, the rubber will get hard and brittle.
If by 'freeze' you mean the formal definition, which is to form actual crystals, as water does when it freezes, then the rubber won't freeze.
You should know that when you drop the rubber into the liquid, the liquid will boil off very quickly for a while even though it's in a dewar. That's because heat will flow straight from the rubber into the liquid.
What else can I help you with?
Does rubber conduct cold?
Nothing conducts cold, really. Materials conduct heat, rather than the lack of it, and rubber has a low thermal conductivity, and is therefore considered a thermal insulator.
Why does a swimmer prefer to put on wet clothes before diving into cold water?
It traps a layer of water between your skin and the rubber. The layer of water warms up because of your body heat and helps keep you protected from the cold water. The thicker the rubber wetsuit the warmer you will be.
Is rainwater could cause fever?
No, it can cause a cold though depending on how long one were to stand or sit in the rain.
Is a rubber eraser a conductor or a Insulator?
a pencil eraser is a conductor .
Can you erase things with rubber?
Yes, we can erase pencil marks with rubber because erasers are made out of rubber
Does cold weather affect a rubber band?
yes it does because from all the warm,hot,cold,rainy weather it does affect it if there was lighting it would shocked the rubber band to have cracks or marks or it can sometime pull out the rubber band
Why does cold shrink rubber?
Cold causes rubber to shrink due to the reduction in molecular motion. At lower temperatures, the polymer chains in rubber become less flexible and more tightly packed, leading to a decrease in volume. This phenomenon is a physical property of rubber materials, which can expand when warmed and contract when cooled. Therefore, exposure to cold environments results in the observable shrinkage of rubber.
Do rubber bands stretch more when its cold?
Rubber bands typically do not stretch as easily in cold temperatures. Cold can cause the rubber to become less flexible and more rigid, reducing its ability to stretch. In contrast, warmer temperatures allow the rubber to expand and become more pliable, making it easier to stretch. Therefore, rubber bands generally perform better when it's warm.
Does a cold rubber ball bounce?
Well, cold rubber balls do bounce, but warm rubber balls bounce better because when a cold rubber ball hits the floor, it generates heat instead of a rebound effect because the molecules are so close together that they collide with each other.
How do you make hard rubber soft?
Run it under cold water. Try getting it to be cold. Since particles extract when warm causing the rubber to become soft.
How do you stop getting electric shocks?
stand on polystyrene or rubber
What is the weakness of rubber?
Acid, heat, sunlight, fire, extreme cold..... rubber is susceptible to all of these. probably more....
Why is treated rubber more desirable?
Treated rubber is made to not melt and flow when hot or be brittle when too cold.
Why are the wheels of a train made of steel and not rubber?
No material could stand up to the stresses and workload necessary for train wheels in the same price range as steel. Rubber doesnt stand a chance.
How does cold effect elasticity of a rubber band?
Cold temperatures can cause rubber bands to become stiffer and less elastic, as the molecules in the rubber contract and have less energy to move around. This can make the rubber band more brittle and prone to breakage when stretched. Warm temperatures, on the other hand, help the rubber band regain its elasticity.
What is the tribe found in cold deserts?
It is the fat rubber clan
Does rubber conduct cold?
Nothing conducts cold, really. Materials conduct heat, rather than the lack of it, and rubber has a low thermal conductivity, and is therefore considered a thermal insulator.
