Is it Safe to Put Dry Ice In Liquid Nitrogen?


when people started leaving comments

when people started leaving comments asking me to mix dry ice with liquid

asking me to mix dry ice with liquid

asking me to mix dry ice with liquid nitrogen at first I thought it was a

nitrogen at first I thought it was a

nitrogen at first I thought it was a joke but then as the comments continued

joke but then as the comments continued

joke but then as the comments continued and continued and continued I started to

and continued and continued I started to

and continued and continued I started to realize that this is a real thing so

realize that this is a real thing so

realize that this is a real thing so today we’re going to try mixing dry ice

today we’re going to try mixing dry ice

today we’re going to try mixing dry ice with liquid nitrogen just to satisfy

with liquid nitrogen just to satisfy

with liquid nitrogen just to satisfy your curiosity and see what happens you

your curiosity and see what happens you

your curiosity and see what happens you already know that dry ice is just a

already know that dry ice is just a

already know that dry ice is just a solid chunk of carbon dioxide that’s

solid chunk of carbon dioxide that’s

solid chunk of carbon dioxide that’s extremely cold at minus 109 degrees

extremely cold at minus 109 degrees

extremely cold at minus 109 degrees Fahrenheit on the other hand liquid

Fahrenheit on the other hand liquid

Fahrenheit on the other hand liquid nitrogen is just liquefied nitrogen gas

nitrogen is just liquefied nitrogen gas

nitrogen is just liquefied nitrogen gas this stuff is minus 321 degrees

this stuff is minus 321 degrees

this stuff is minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit this means the difference in

Fahrenheit this means the difference in

Fahrenheit this means the difference in temperature between dry ice and liquid

temperature between dry ice and liquid

temperature between dry ice and liquid nitrogen is the same difference in

nitrogen is the same difference in

nitrogen is the same difference in temperature between boiling hot water

temperature between boiling hot water

temperature between boiling hot water and a frozen chunk of ice for this

and a frozen chunk of ice for this

and a frozen chunk of ice for this experiment I’ve got the liquid nitrogen

experiment I’ve got the liquid nitrogen

experiment I’ve got the liquid nitrogen sitting in the thermos and that allows

sitting in the thermos and that allows

sitting in the thermos and that allows it to cool down to where it’s happy and

it to cool down to where it’s happy and

it to cool down to where it’s happy and very calm so if we drop in a piece of

very calm so if we drop in a piece of

very calm so if we drop in a piece of dry ice now what kind of reaction would

dry ice now what kind of reaction would

dry ice now what kind of reaction would you expect to take place the liquid

you expect to take place the liquid

you expect to take place the liquid nitrogen boils and the dry ice becomes

nitrogen boils and the dry ice becomes

nitrogen boils and the dry ice becomes even colder let’s just reach down in

even colder let’s just reach down in

even colder let’s just reach down in there and see if we can pull it out

there and see if we can pull it out

there and see if we can pull it out now the cool thing about this dry ice it

now the cool thing about this dry ice it

now the cool thing about this dry ice it has been cryogenically reduced to the

has been cryogenically reduced to the

has been cryogenically reduced to the temperature of liquid nitrogen so

temperature of liquid nitrogen so

temperature of liquid nitrogen so instead of being minus 190 degrees

instead of being minus 190 degrees

instead of being minus 190 degrees Fahrenheit this block of dry ice is now

Fahrenheit this block of dry ice is now

Fahrenheit this block of dry ice is now about minus 321 Fahrenheit

this is amazing it’s actually boiled out

this is amazing it’s actually boiled out most of the nitrogen

which of these do you think is more

which of these do you think is more dense dry ice or liquid nitrogen in

dense dry ice or liquid nitrogen in

dense dry ice or liquid nitrogen in other words if I drop dry ice into a

other words if I drop dry ice into a

other words if I drop dry ice into a glass of liquid nitrogen will it sink or

glass of liquid nitrogen will it sink or

glass of liquid nitrogen will it sink or will it float I don’t see it floating on

will it float I don’t see it floating on

will it float I don’t see it floating on the top there let’s add a few more

the top there let’s add a few more

the top there let’s add a few more chunks just to be sure yep

chunks just to be sure yep

chunks just to be sure yep I can hear that sinking right to the

I can hear that sinking right to the

I can hear that sinking right to the bottom it’s really cool how it mists for

bottom it’s really cool how it mists for

bottom it’s really cool how it mists for just a second and then the mist

just a second and then the mist

just a second and then the mist completely disappears and that’s because

completely disappears and that’s because

completely disappears and that’s because the liquid nitrogen is cooling the dry

the liquid nitrogen is cooling the dry

the liquid nitrogen is cooling the dry ice down to cryogenic temperatures so we

ice down to cryogenic temperatures so we

ice down to cryogenic temperatures so we can see the dry ice is more dense than

can see the dry ice is more dense than

can see the dry ice is more dense than liquid nitrogen because it sinks to the

liquid nitrogen because it sinks to the

liquid nitrogen because it sinks to the bottom therefore a cold drink Cheers

bottom therefore a cold drink Cheers

bottom therefore a cold drink Cheers just joking just joking

[Music]

[Music] for this experiment I have two identical

for this experiment I have two identical

for this experiment I have two identical bowls of water and two identical chunks

bowls of water and two identical chunks

bowls of water and two identical chunks of dry ice except the ones been soaked

of dry ice except the ones been soaked

of dry ice except the ones been soaked in liquid nitrogen the other one hasn’t

in liquid nitrogen the other one hasn’t

in liquid nitrogen the other one hasn’t if we drop them at the exact same time

if we drop them at the exact same time

if we drop them at the exact same time into two separate dishes how are they

into two separate dishes how are they

into two separate dishes how are they going to react

going to react

going to react [Music]

you can see that both two bowls are

you can see that both two bowls are reacting about the same they’re

reacting about the same they’re

reacting about the same they’re producing the same amount of vapor

producing the same amount of vapor

producing the same amount of vapor they’re bubbling at about the same rate

they’re bubbling at about the same rate

they’re bubbling at about the same rate they’re both popping off cool little

they’re both popping off cool little

they’re both popping off cool little smoke rings which is like my favorite

smoke rings which is like my favorite

smoke rings which is like my favorite part that doesn’t really surprise me so

part that doesn’t really surprise me so

part that doesn’t really surprise me so much the question is going to be which

much the question is going to be which

much the question is going to be which one lasts longer will the colder block

one lasts longer will the colder block

one lasts longer will the colder block of dry ice outlast the untreated piece

of dry ice outlast the untreated piece

of dry ice outlast the untreated piece now this has been running for about five

now this has been running for about five

now this has been running for about five minutes and you can see the bowl with

minutes and you can see the bowl with

minutes and you can see the bowl with the liquid nitrogen treated dry ice

the liquid nitrogen treated dry ice

the liquid nitrogen treated dry ice actually still has a thicker vapor there

actually still has a thicker vapor there

actually still has a thicker vapor there was enough cold in the first bowl to

was enough cold in the first bowl to

was enough cold in the first bowl to keep the reaction going a little bit

keep the reaction going a little bit

keep the reaction going a little bit longer we all know that when you drop

longer we all know that when you drop

longer we all know that when you drop dry ice into water it forms an amazing

dry ice into water it forms an amazing

dry ice into water it forms an amazing missing fog that just seems to flow out

missing fog that just seems to flow out

missing fog that just seems to flow out of the water so will it do the same

of the water so will it do the same

of the water so will it do the same thing with liquid nitrogen for this

thing with liquid nitrogen for this

thing with liquid nitrogen for this first experiment let’s drill two holes

first experiment let’s drill two holes

first experiment let’s drill two holes into the same block of dry ice we’ll put

into the same block of dry ice we’ll put

into the same block of dry ice we’ll put liquid nitrogen in one hole and water in

liquid nitrogen in one hole and water in

liquid nitrogen in one hole and water in the other and observe the results all

the other and observe the results all

the other and observe the results all right here we go liquid nitrogen it’s

right here we go liquid nitrogen it’s

right here we go liquid nitrogen it’s amazing to think about but the dryest is

amazing to think about but the dryest is

amazing to think about but the dryest is actually so hot right now that when we

actually so hot right now that when we

actually so hot right now that when we add the liquid nitrogen it boils it and

add the liquid nitrogen it boils it and

add the liquid nitrogen it boils it and vaporizes it just an instant and that’s

vaporizes it just an instant and that’s

vaporizes it just an instant and that’s why we’re getting the fog flowing off

why we’re getting the fog flowing off

why we’re getting the fog flowing off that we are all right we got that thing

that we are all right we got that thing

that we are all right we got that thing chock full of liquid nitrogen let’s add

chock full of liquid nitrogen let’s add

chock full of liquid nitrogen let’s add water to the other side and desert the

water to the other side and desert the

water to the other side and desert the difference oh that’s so cool our block

difference oh that’s so cool our block

difference oh that’s so cool our block of dry ice is blowing smoke rings now if

of dry ice is blowing smoke rings now if

of dry ice is blowing smoke rings now if you notice the liquid nitrogen is

you notice the liquid nitrogen is

you notice the liquid nitrogen is completely vaporized dry ice is so cold

completely vaporized dry ice is so cold

completely vaporized dry ice is so cold it’ll freeze water solid but at the same

it’ll freeze water solid but at the same

it’ll freeze water solid but at the same time it’s so hot it’ll boil off liquid

time it’s so hot it’ll boil off liquid

time it’s so hot it’ll boil off liquid nitrogen all water does is cool down to

nitrogen all water does is cool down to

nitrogen all water does is cool down to the point where it eventually

the point where it eventually

the point where it eventually crystallize and turn into ice that’s how

crystallize and turn into ice that’s how

crystallize and turn into ice that’s how you make carbonated ice cubes this is

you make carbonated ice cubes this is

you make carbonated ice cubes this is reaction I didn’t expect here’s a

reaction I didn’t expect here’s a

reaction I didn’t expect here’s a regular chunk of dry ice try punching

regular chunk of dry ice try punching

regular chunk of dry ice try punching that and you end up with sore knuckles

that and you end up with sore knuckles

that and you end up with sore knuckles soak the dry ice and liquid nitrogen and

soak the dry ice and liquid nitrogen and

soak the dry ice and liquid nitrogen and it pulverizes without problem I was not

it pulverizes without problem I was not

it pulverizes without problem I was not expecting that that’s cool I’m gonna do

expecting that that’s cool I’m gonna do

expecting that that’s cool I’m gonna do that again

that again

that again [Music]

okay let’s go throw the stuff in the

okay let’s go throw the stuff in the bathtub this dry ice has just been

bathtub this dry ice has just been

bathtub this dry ice has just been frozen in liquid nitrogen we’re going to

frozen in liquid nitrogen we’re going to

frozen in liquid nitrogen we’re going to throw it into the tub here and see what

throw it into the tub here and see what

throw it into the tub here and see what happens okay that was cool but it feels

happens okay that was cool but it feels

happens okay that was cool but it feels a little bit weak let’s dump the rest of

a little bit weak let’s dump the rest of

a little bit weak let’s dump the rest of it in there

it in there

it in there [Music]

this is cool our bathtub has just

this is cool our bathtub has just disappeared

disappeared

disappeared [Music]

[Music]

[Music] and like stings your face when you

and like stings your face when you

and like stings your face when you breathe it

so what happens when you dip dry ice and

so what happens when you dip dry ice and liquid nitrogen well you get a pretty

liquid nitrogen well you get a pretty

liquid nitrogen well you get a pretty cool reaction and very very cold dry ice

cool reaction and very very cold dry ice

cool reaction and very very cold dry ice so there you have it guys now you know

so there you have it guys now you know

so there you have it guys now you know what happens if you put dry ice in

what happens if you put dry ice in

what happens if you put dry ice in liquid nitrogen thanks for joining me

liquid nitrogen thanks for joining me

liquid nitrogen thanks for joining me for this experiment today I’ll be

for this experiment today I’ll be

for this experiment today I’ll be looking for in the next video

looking for in the next video

looking for in the next video talk to you then and then through the

talk to you then and then through the

talk to you then and then through the whole batch into a bathtub full of

whole batch into a bathtub full of

whole batch into a bathtub full of extremely warm water oh dude look at the

extremely warm water oh dude look at the

extremely warm water oh dude look at the way that shattered apparently liquid

way that shattered apparently liquid

way that shattered apparently liquid nitrogen frozen dry ice becomes a lot

nitrogen frozen dry ice becomes a lot

nitrogen frozen dry ice becomes a lot more brittle as well whoa

more brittle as well whoa

more brittle as well whoa oh my goodness okay that’s worthy to

oh my goodness okay that’s worthy to

oh my goodness okay that’s worthy to note
