The Action Lab Yeah unfortunately this worlds turning into snowflake crybabies who get offended for anything... Animals i understand but a fly seriously ... I bet they would feel different when a fly transmits a disease to their kid or wife etc who then suffers or worse due to it... Anyway just a mixed up world. Love your videos
The sugar appeared "wet" because the liquid nitrogen is so cold it condenses the water vapor around it. Once you pulled out the spoon the water vapor clings on to it and freezes. Then once a few moments go by everything reaches entropy and the frozen water vapor melts, giving it a "wet" texture.
+Ryan RyeBread the water would be a solid though, so why would water make it look wet? That sugar was -196 degrees for a while after I pulled it out. There is no liquid water.
Just from this, it does seem to have some "wetting" capacity. Do you happen to know if it can actually dissolve anything? I would guess some gasses maybe, but I mean anything solid?
@ Ryan RyeBread. Thank you,? that was what I was going to suggest, that all the individual sugar crystals were supercooled and immediately caused the water vapor in the air to condense on the sugar crystals, wetting them but not pooling enough water to dissolve them.
This is not a criticism. Great video. You had a great idea with the tissue, (the sugar premise and results were questionable) but next time can you do a side by side of tissue dipped in liquid nitrogen with tissue dipped in water - to establish which is wet vs simply cold. Again great vid. You earned my subscription weeks ago.
Liquid nitrogen is essentially the same as water in a sense of its creation. Liquid nitrogen is created by cooling down and compressing nitrogen gas until it becomes a liquid. The same can be said with water, the water vapor is cooled down and compressed (By the atmosphere) to create a liquid. If you think of liquids in a technical sense, most liquids don't exist in the solar system other than in a select few places.
U yourself said water is polar while liquid nitrogen is nonpolar. Like dissolves like substances. Therefore, the liquid nitrogen did not dissolve the sugar. Put some nonpolar things in there however, and it should dissolve them
You should have stirred the sugar in the liquid nitrogen. Even in water, sugar doesn't dissolve well unless you stir it. It still wouldn't have worked, but that's what I was expecting.
Can you please put liquid nitrogen inside a sealed but non insulated container and check if it disappears after a while... If it does not then can we cool things with the container surface forever?
I was directed to this video by Copilot, the AI extension of the Bing search engine, which did not exist when you made your video, but found your video in the RU-vid database. This was a very helpful video in my research of my imaginary crystalline alien civilization who live on a moon where the average temperature is -200º C. on their moon, there is a nitrogen cycle that acts like Earth's water cycle, where nitrogen exists in all three states. I figured out a while ago that they use blocks of ice for masonry to build their buildings. I was interested in figuring out what they would construct their boats and ships out of. I am tentatively guessing their river, lake, and off shore vessels would mainly be constructed from something resembling teflon, or maybe fiberglass. I need to determine what kinds of metals they would be able to use, if at all because buoyancy seems to be at issue, that would not be a problem with land buildings. Dissolving of something comparable to amino acids in nitrogen also seems to be problematic. Is it still reasonably possible for crystal like amino acid like structures to dissolve in liquid nitrogen, given a much longer period of time, for example many years? An additional set of questions are with motor/engines. marine engines are heavy, including steam(nitrogen) engines. There are puddles and large pooling of liquid oxygen on that moon's surface. They do have a device that can use the hydrogen in their Hydrogen-Helium atmosphere to "ignite and burn" the liquid oxygen to make fire(something like a 'cigarette lighter').
Just found and subscribed to your channel because of your last fidget video. An experiment I've wanted to see done, is to use a magnetically suspended top in a vacuum chamber. It's a kids toy. You can find them by searching levitating top. Theoretically, with no mechanical friction, and now air resistance, it seems like it should spin indefinitely
If liquid nitrogen is nonpolar, then shouldn't it mix well with nonpolar liquids like oil? I really want to see what happens if you mix the two. I'm guessing vegetable oil will solidify before it totally mixes in with the liquid nitrogen, but maybe some of it will dissolve. I don't know what other liquids might work... I can't think of anything that might have a freezing point lower than liquid N's boiling point...
A lot of the content of these videos are actually really, really interesting, but the host almost always sounds like he'd rather be doing /anything/ else - which usually causes me to skip around the video or not even finish at all. But then these videos keep showing up in my recommended videos & notifications despite that I'm not subscribed so I guess that's testament to something. Still, you've got nothing on Vsauce or SmarterEveryDay as far as I'm concerned as long as you keep being so monotone.
Your comment about polar molecules is on the right track, but simply being polar isn't what makes a substance a good solvent. In simplified terms, "like dissolves like". A polar liquid is more likely to dissolve a polar solute than a non-polar liquid is and vice-versa. Sugar is a polar molecule, so it dissolves well in water but not in liquid nitrogen. On the flip side, carbon tetrachloride dissolves more easily in carbon disulfide than it does in water because both carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulfide are non-polar. Another thing to consider is temperature. Solid substances dissolve more easily in hot liquids than in cold liquids. This would further hamper liquid nitrogen's ability to dissolve things. Also, very large molecules are less likely to dissolve than small molecules. Cellulose is a polar molecule but it does not dissolve in water because it is a long polymer.
liquid nitrogen seems to have wetting power--but the sugar in the nitrogen was like sand at a beach--it's wet, but when the water evaporates it's not, and the nitrogen evaporates very quickly. It doesn't leave a residue like salt water, just the solid sugar. As soon as the state change happens, it's not wet anymore.
what kind of fish specie is that? mine moves without having me to manual its settings, plus it has color on its outter layer, and its tail isnt ripped off like yours... im rly intrested into fish and iwanna add more in my collective tank. Send me a reply cuz i always wanted to put such an amazing living creature in my fish collection. Oh and if youre that kind of sending the actual fish, make holes in the packaging so it doesnt die... ty!
if you could warm the liquid nitrogen then I feel it would dissolve the sugar. just like how if you warm up water and things dissolve easier. but you can't really warm up liquid nitrogen
Would a hovercraft work on liquid nitrogen? Or would it sink? I think it would work especially because of the nitrogen gas trying to escape underneath it
If you put a paper in liquid nitrogen, will the be wet and soaked the liquid as paper does in tap water? I saw the RU-vidr king of random did it and the paper got wet but the tissue paper here as you did in the experiment didn't became wet? Why?
See if liquid nitrogen can dissolve an oil. Non polar liquids dissolve other non polar substances. For example, liquid butane can dissolve coconut oil.
You could see less condensation on the outside of your insulated cup filled with liquid nitrogen if you were in a freezer. How cold that freezer would need to be, is another question that I have no answer for.
question: if u make ur hand at a high temperature by like keeping it in hot water, and if u quickly dipped ur hand in liquid nitrogen, would that freeze ur hand?
Thank you! You tested a question that I never thought of asking. I guess my only question would be about the last part. Why would nitrogen have trouble combining with cellulose? Perhaps a distance between? I "would" because there might be a possibility of making it happen.
Ah nah its not wet its cold... I don't understand why you are comparing it to water, its what it says it is... liquid nitrogen... A gas that's in its liquid state.
WATER IS NOT WET WATERE IS WATER WET IS A SENSAITION FELT BY HUMANS WHEN WATER COMES INTO CONTACT WITH OUR SKIN AND THE AIR YOU DONT FEEL WET WHEN UR IN WATER DRY IS US FEELING AIR ON OUR SKIN AND WET IS US FEELING WATER OR ANY LIQUID ON OUR SKIN
Hey. I recognize your voice. WTF. You have another channel? Yeah!!! You're Mr. Hydraulic Press dude!!!!!! You have multitple channels? Dude. I need to subscribe to all your channels.
I would be more interested in seeing if a non-polar molecule, such as olive oil, will dissolve in liquid nitrogen, since its also a non-polar molecule. I have two hypothesis: 1. They will dissolve eachother; 2. The olive oil will freeze and form a solid
I know some doctors use liquid nitrogen as a means of wart/mole removal, I just want to know (if you do) how that works chemically to the skin and surrounding areas to actually remove the blemishes.
