when people started leaving comments
asking me to mix dry ice with liquid
nitrogen at first I thought it was a
joke but then as the comments continued
and continued and continued I started to
realize that this is a real thing so
today we’re going to try mixing dry ice
with liquid nitrogen just to satisfy
your curiosity and see what happens you
already know that dry ice is just a
solid chunk of carbon dioxide that’s
extremely cold at minus 109 degrees
Fahrenheit on the other hand liquid
nitrogen is just liquefied nitrogen gas
this stuff is minus 321 degrees
Fahrenheit this means the difference in
temperature between dry ice and liquid
nitrogen is the same difference in
temperature between boiling hot water
and a frozen chunk of ice for this
experiment I’ve got the liquid nitrogen
sitting in the thermos and that allows
it to cool down to where it’s happy and
very calm so if we drop in a piece of
dry ice now what kind of reaction would
you expect to take place the liquid
nitrogen boils and the dry ice becomes
even colder let’s just reach down in
there and see if we can pull it out
now the cool thing about this dry ice it
has been cryogenically reduced to the
temperature of liquid nitrogen so
instead of being minus 190 degrees
Fahrenheit this block of dry ice is now
about minus 321 Fahrenheit
this is amazing it’s actually boiled out
most of the nitrogen
[Music]
which of these do you think is more
dense dry ice or liquid nitrogen in
other words if I drop dry ice into a
glass of liquid nitrogen will it sink or
will it float I don’t see it floating on
the top there let’s add a few more
chunks just to be sure yep
I can hear that sinking right to the
bottom it’s really cool how it mists for
just a second and then the mist
completely disappears and that’s because
the liquid nitrogen is cooling the dry
ice down to cryogenic temperatures so we
can see the dry ice is more dense than
liquid nitrogen because it sinks to the
bottom therefore a cold drink Cheers
just joking just joking
[Music]
for this experiment I have two identical
bowls of water and two identical chunks
of dry ice except the ones been soaked
in liquid nitrogen the other one hasn’t
if we drop them at the exact same time
into two separate dishes how are they
going to react
[Music]
you can see that both two bowls are
reacting about the same they’re
producing the same amount of vapor
they’re bubbling at about the same rate
they’re both popping off cool little
smoke rings which is like my favorite
part that doesn’t really surprise me so
much the question is going to be which
one lasts longer will the colder block
of dry ice outlast the untreated piece
now this has been running for about five
minutes and you can see the bowl with
the liquid nitrogen treated dry ice
actually still has a thicker vapor there
was enough cold in the first bowl to
keep the reaction going a little bit
longer we all know that when you drop
dry ice into water it forms an amazing
missing fog that just seems to flow out
of the water so will it do the same
thing with liquid nitrogen for this
first experiment let’s drill two holes
into the same block of dry ice we’ll put
liquid nitrogen in one hole and water in
the other and observe the results all
right here we go liquid nitrogen it’s
amazing to think about but the dryest is
actually so hot right now that when we
add the liquid nitrogen it boils it and
vaporizes it just an instant and that’s
why we’re getting the fog flowing off
that we are all right we got that thing
chock full of liquid nitrogen let’s add
water to the other side and desert the
difference oh that’s so cool our block
of dry ice is blowing smoke rings now if
you notice the liquid nitrogen is
completely vaporized dry ice is so cold
it’ll freeze water solid but at the same
time it’s so hot it’ll boil off liquid
nitrogen all water does is cool down to
the point where it eventually
crystallize and turn into ice that’s how
you make carbonated ice cubes this is
reaction I didn’t expect here’s a
regular chunk of dry ice try punching
that and you end up with sore knuckles
soak the dry ice and liquid nitrogen and
it pulverizes without problem I was not
expecting that that’s cool I’m gonna do
that again
[Music]
okay let’s go throw the stuff in the
bathtub this dry ice has just been
frozen in liquid nitrogen we’re going to
throw it into the tub here and see what
happens okay that was cool but it feels
a little bit weak let’s dump the rest of
it in there
[Music]
this is cool our bathtub has just
disappeared
[Music]
and like stings your face when you
breathe it
[Music]
so what happens when you dip dry ice and
liquid nitrogen well you get a pretty
cool reaction and very very cold dry ice
so there you have it guys now you know
what happens if you put dry ice in
liquid nitrogen thanks for joining me
for this experiment today I’ll be
looking for in the next video
talk to you then and then through the
whole batch into a bathtub full of
extremely warm water oh dude look at the
way that shattered apparently liquid
nitrogen frozen dry ice becomes a lot
more brittle as well whoa
oh my goodness okay that’s worthy to
note
