Will Food Coloring Dye Liquid Nitrogen

while my friends were back in lab today

while my friends were back in lab today and we’re here for this experiment

and we’re here for this experiment

and we’re here for this experiment because of Nishat dua who posted a

because of Nishat dua who posted a comment asking what would happen if we

comment asking what would happen if we

comment asking what would happen if we added food coloring to liquid nitrogen

added food coloring to liquid nitrogen

added food coloring to liquid nitrogen would it actually color the liquid or

would it actually color the liquid or

would it actually color the liquid or would the pigment just freeze and this

would the pigment just freeze and this

would the pigment just freeze and this is a comment that’s been gaining quite a

is a comment that’s been gaining quite a

is a comment that’s been gaining quite a bit of popularity in the comments lately

bit of popularity in the comments lately

bit of popularity in the comments lately and that’s why we’re doing it today so

and that’s why we’re doing it today so

and that’s why we’re doing it today so here’s the setup we’ve got guys I got a

here’s the setup we’ve got guys I got a

here’s the setup we’ve got guys I got a Styrofoam cup filled with liquid

Styrofoam cup filled with liquid

Styrofoam cup filled with liquid nitrogen you can see that’s getting

nitrogen you can see that’s getting

nitrogen you can see that’s getting frosty and I’ve got a fairly dirty

frosty and I’ve got a fairly dirty

frosty and I’ve got a fairly dirty drinking glass and this experiment

drinking glass and this experiment

drinking glass and this experiment really is as simple as it sound we’re

really is as simple as it sound we’re

really is as simple as it sound we’re going to pour liquid nitrogen into the

going to pour liquid nitrogen into the

going to pour liquid nitrogen into the glass squirt of some food coloring and

glass squirt of some food coloring and

glass squirt of some food coloring and observe what happens this is the glass

observe what happens this is the glass

observe what happens this is the glass we used for the Firecracker he can tell

we used for the Firecracker he can tell

we used for the Firecracker he can tell from the battle wounds right there like

from the battle wounds right there like

from the battle wounds right there like spewing off like fireworks look at the

spewing off like fireworks look at the

spewing off like fireworks look at the top here and see that oh I can hear the

top here and see that oh I can hear the

top here and see that oh I can hear the glass cracking right here cracking right

glass cracking right here cracking right

glass cracking right here cracking right there but I think we’re still going to

there but I think we’re still going to

there but I think we’re still going to get it to work now I went down the

get it to work now I went down the

get it to work now I went down the grocery store and picked up a variety of

grocery store and picked up a variety of

grocery store and picked up a variety of food colorings I got the regular kind

food colorings I got the regular kind

food colorings I got the regular kind and I also got the neon kind which

and I also got the neon kind which

and I also got the neon kind which theoretically should fluoresce under UV

theoretically should fluoresce under UV

theoretically should fluoresce under UV light now you already know that if we

light now you already know that if we

light now you already know that if we squirt food coloring into a glass of

squirt food coloring into a glass of

squirt food coloring into a glass of water the food coloring mixes with the

water the food coloring mixes with the

water the food coloring mixes with the water disperses and makes a very

water disperses and makes a very

water disperses and makes a very spectacular show and from that point

spectacular show and from that point

spectacular show and from that point it’s very very difficult to get the

it’s very very difficult to get the

it’s very very difficult to get the color out of the liquid it is possible

color out of the liquid it is possible

color out of the liquid it is possible the very tricky so here we are guys we

the very tricky so here we are guys we

the very tricky so here we are guys we got our liquid nitrogen successfully

got our liquid nitrogen successfully

got our liquid nitrogen successfully transferred into our cup the cup has had

transferred into our cup the cup has had

transferred into our cup the cup has had a chance to cool down and it has cracked

a chance to cool down and it has cracked

a chance to cool down and it has cracked but it looks like it’s holding together

but it looks like it’s holding together

but it looks like it’s holding together so we going to go ahead and try the

so we going to go ahead and try the

so we going to go ahead and try the experiment anyway I think we’re going to

experiment anyway I think we’re going to

experiment anyway I think we’re going to use red because it’s a little bit more

use red because it’s a little bit more

use red because it’s a little bit more stark contrast as you show up a little

stark contrast as you show up a little

stark contrast as you show up a little more visibly so here’s your chance to

more visibly so here’s your chance to

more visibly so here’s your chance to make your prediction down in the

make your prediction down in the

make your prediction down in the comments below when I squirt the red

comments below when I squirt the red

comments below when I squirt the red food coloring into the liquid nitrogen

food coloring into the liquid nitrogen

food coloring into the liquid nitrogen will the nitrogen change color or will

will the nitrogen change color or will

will the nitrogen change color or will the food coloring just freeze you got

the food coloring just freeze you got

the food coloring just freeze you got five seconds to leave your comment and

five seconds to leave your comment and

five seconds to leave your comment and then we begin rather than just dripping

then we begin rather than just dripping

then we begin rather than just dripping it in I think I’m going to start off

it in I think I’m going to start off

it in I think I’m going to start off with a large squirt

with a large squirt

with a large squirt here we go oh and it still comes out a

here we go oh and it still comes out a

here we go oh and it still comes out a little beads

little beads

little beads okay let’s quickly stir that around stir

okay let’s quickly stir that around stir

okay let’s quickly stir that around stir it stir it and what is happening expect

it stir it and what is happening expect

it stir it and what is happening expect on my popsicle stick if they go actually

on my popsicle stick if they go actually

on my popsicle stick if they go actually looks like a popsicle and what we got

looks like a popsicle and what we got

looks like a popsicle and what we got here are little beads of food coloring

here are little beads of food coloring

here are little beads of food coloring day

day

day it cooled down completely interesting

it cooled down completely interesting

it cooled down completely interesting our glasses are still holding up that’s

our glasses are still holding up that’s

our glasses are still holding up that’s a good sign

a good sign

a good sign all right so maybe I need to start

all right so maybe I need to start

all right so maybe I need to start stirring it up faster because even with

stirring it up faster because even with

stirring it up faster because even with only a second the food coloring froze

only a second the food coloring froze

only a second the food coloring froze solid and you can see that nitrogen

solid and you can see that nitrogen

solid and you can see that nitrogen hasn’t changed color at all so I’m going

hasn’t changed color at all so I’m going

hasn’t changed color at all so I’m going to do another big squirt and this time

to do another big squirt and this time

to do another big squirt and this time we’ll do it as I’m stirring here we go

we’ll do it as I’m stirring here we go

we’ll do it as I’m stirring here we go in three two one

in three two one

in three two one ooh a cloud of mysterious smoke can’t

ooh a cloud of mysterious smoke can’t

ooh a cloud of mysterious smoke can’t see anything

tons are going to put all in there

tons are going to put all in there [Music]

[Music]

[Music] and would you look at that everything’s

and would you look at that everything’s

and would you look at that everything’s settling down now and even stirring as

settling down now and even stirring as

settling down now and even stirring as quickly as I could we just made giant

quickly as I could we just made giant

quickly as I could we just made giant frozen glob with good sign the nitrogen

frozen glob with good sign the nitrogen

frozen glob with good sign the nitrogen itself having the same colors all it

itself having the same colors all it

itself having the same colors all it looks like crystal-clear water very very

looks like crystal-clear water very very

looks like crystal-clear water very very cold water now we have cryogenic food

cold water now we have cryogenic food

cold water now we have cryogenic food coloring okay so even with stirring the

coloring okay so even with stirring the

coloring okay so even with stirring the nitrogen as quickly as I could and

nitrogen as quickly as I could and

nitrogen as quickly as I could and dumping an entire bottle of red food

dumping an entire bottle of red food

dumping an entire bottle of red food coloring in it we still were not able to

coloring in it we still were not able to

coloring in it we still were not able to color the liquid nitrogen all that

color the liquid nitrogen all that

color the liquid nitrogen all that really happened is I think the food

really happened is I think the food

really happened is I think the food color was sucked into the middle and

color was sucked into the middle and

color was sucked into the middle and froze to itself and now we’ve got giant

froze to itself and now we’ve got giant

froze to itself and now we’ve got giant red globs of cryogenic coloring

red globs of cryogenic coloring

red globs of cryogenic coloring interesting thermos is creepy so we can

interesting thermos is creepy so we can

interesting thermos is creepy so we can already see here that the nitrogen is

already see here that the nitrogen is

already see here that the nitrogen is not going to be affected by the food

not going to be affected by the food

not going to be affected by the food coloring so we’re you right if you were

coloring so we’re you right if you were

coloring so we’re you right if you were to go ahead and give yourself a pat on

to go ahead and give yourself a pat on

to go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back in the meantime I’m going to

the back in the meantime I’m going to

the back in the meantime I’m going to grab three more of these containers of

grab three more of these containers of

grab three more of these containers of food coloring and dump them all at one

food coloring and dump them all at one

food coloring and dump them all at one here comes the big squirt in three two

here comes the big squirt in three two

here comes the big squirt in three two one

all night get them all I’ll get them all

all night get them all I’ll get them all it’s like milking a cow we can get that

it’s like milking a cow we can get that

colorful mess we got here almost out of

colorful mess we got here almost out of nitrogen that’s crazy the food coloring

nitrogen that’s crazy the food coloring

nitrogen that’s crazy the food coloring was actually so hot compared to liquid

was actually so hot compared to liquid
