This is also how you can make frozen nitrogen :) You pull a vacuum, the molecules with the higher kinetic energy transfer to the gas phase while the average kinetic energy in the liquid phase drops, allowing it to freeze.
This is why the best description of boiling point is when a liquids vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure and not just a temperature. Awesome video.
Yeah, that's a good point to mention. the "boiling point" of a substance depends on pressure, and when taking pressure into account makes a boiling curve, which is just part of the phase diagram as a whole.
So is the water in both the beaker and the syringe at a lower temp than what we know as boiling point(in our atmospheric pressure), but this water "boils" in the syringe due to the vacuum change to the atmosphere? Asked in a dumber way, would that beaker water boil an egg?
@@benjaminmartinez3588 no it's lower temp. Water boils at 0°k (about - 300°c) in outer space, because of the vacuum. Water atoms can fall apart, turn to gas (steam) without just heat. Clouds are steam. You won't steam broccoli in clouds, in fact U could freeze your drinks in them though.
Actually,... It CAN be! Pass an electric current through water, to split it apart into hydrogen and oxygen. Collect and mix the gases, and strike a match or a spark. You get pretty rapid combustion. And the waste product? Water.
With electric help, it is very explosive... After it's converted to the two gaseous elements composing it. He can explain it better, I'm sure... as well as the individual above yours truly.
Alkalai metals violently combust when they touch water, so in a sense it is highly combustible. Many people know about the reaction with sodium, but iirc the alkalai metals have a stronger reaction the further down the column you go (potassium, for example, would have a stronger reaction, exploding with more force than sodium).
Well, the simplest form of this would be a radioactive isotope of some kind (you need it really pure, and that can take years of purification), and then pack a ton of explosives around it to create an inward pressure. Bingo! That should be some sort of nuclear weapon

@@afiquacks1246 phase transitions, kinetic energy, temperature, these are all physical phenomena. It's not a chemical phenomenon because the the water as both gas and liquid still have the same molecular structure.

it doesnt. your body is a closed system.(i sure hope you arent puking, bleeding, pooping or peeing constantly) spit on your tongue will when you open your mouth though.
@@frogpaste yes because thats what would happen. look up what superheat and subcooling- hint, it has to do with pressure, and this video. and yes you can boil at low pressures, BUT that means your body would have to internally be at different atmospheres/pressures as well. Just do a quick google search. you being in a vacuum is different than your body itself being a vacuum.
This phenomenon is why carbonated drinks are better cold. So this video is just about the misconception of the boiling phenomenon. Boiling is any time a liquid goes to a gas and it depends on the atmospheric pressure surrounding the liquid, called the vapor pressure. Like he said, boiling depends on the energy of the liquid, specifically if it has enough energy to become gas in the space above the liquid, so if you lower the psi, suddenly the lower-temperature molecules have enough energy to escape the liquid state. Think of it like an invisible hand pressing down on the liquid to keep the molecules from turning into vapor, which they want to do but can't because of that atmospheric pressure pressing against the liquid. In a carbonated drink, If you lower the temperature of the liquid, the lower energy of the CO2 molecules (the fizz) in the drink means more of the gas stays dissolved in the liquid instead of escaping into the air at the top of the bottle It's why any time you look up the boiling point of an element, it gives you the psi as well. It's also why if you were to go into space your body would start immediately boiling because the atmospheric pressure is 0.
I have a material science degree and I’ve been a chemistry nerd my whole life and this is the best explanation I’ve ever seen of this phenomenon. The way I intuit it is that boiling is an endothermic process, meaning that the system pays with heat in order to change. You can pay the water with heat to make it boil, or you can depressurize the water and force it to pay its own heat as it is forced to boil.
So in a nutshell, as best as I can put it: At our current atmospheric pressure, water needs more energy via boiling to become vapor. By decreasing the pressure it is in (like in the syringe, that amount of air and water is spread over a larger spatial area, hence the pressure dropping), less if not no energy is required to cause the change in state because of the available energy already in the water.
@@randomsandwichian It’s an equilibrium dependent on thermal energy, gibbs free energy, and pressure. There’s an equilibrium vapor pressure for every liquid at every temperature at which no more evaporation will occur. Technically more evaporation is always taking place, but condensation is happening at the same rate. Increase the temperature and the evaporation rate will become faster than condensation. Increase the pressure and condensation rate will become faster than evaporation. Until, in both cases, the vapor pressure once again reaches the equilibrium vapor pressure, and then both processes will be equal again.

Thats a good visualization on how a Fridge works. A liquid is being cycled from gas to liquid using a Pressure pump knowing the fact that when liquid boils it sucks heat and when it froze it expels them. Put the zone where it expels/suck heat accordingly and help radiate it with a Fan and you got a fridge.
I am a professional HVAC technician (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and I just want to say you perfectly explained how air conditioners and refrigeration works. pressure and boiling points are directly tied together. when you raise/lower the pressure of a liquid, you raise/lower its boiling point. in an a/c or refrigerator, we take high pressure liquid refrigerant and pump it through a metering orifice, which is basically like holding your thumb over the end of a garden hose. After passing through the metering device, the refrigerant is now a much lower pressure, and it will boil at room temperature, which is how it absorbs heat from your house. the fan blows air across loops of pipe that the depressurized refrigerant is pumping through causing it to boil as it goes through the loops, absorbing the heat in the process. Then it goes to the outside unit to re-pressurize in order to raise the boiling point, which causes the now-gas refrigerant to condense back into a high-pressure liquid, dumping the heat it absorbed into the outside air in the process of it's change of state. It's a constant loop of manipulating the boiling point by changing the pressure. high boiling point to dump heat and low boiling point to absorb heat.
Ever since I learned how consistently forms of energy were converted into heat in middle school, I’ve always been so confused how something like a fridge worked when energy was supposedly being used to make something colder. I haven’t rested easy since lol. Thanks for explaining 🙏
Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure (the pressure at which the liquid is launching molecules into the air) becomes equal to the outside pressure. So in other words, the outside gas no longer has the pressure to squeeze and prevent the liquid from turning into gas, so they become the same phase. One way to boil a liquid is by increasing its temperature, and by extension vapor pressure. Another one is to simply decrease the outside pressure, and make them equal that way. Hope this helps!
@@sassyb58 at higher altitudes you would experience lower pressure. This would mean that you would have a lower boiling point making it easier to boil water. This is actually why pressure cookers are much more useful in states like Colorado. Because you can cook your food under higher pressure giving it a higher boiling point. On a sidenote water will boil at room temperature in the vacuum of space.

@@kylemilford8758 I know, I'm just really surprised that this piece of tape he placed on the tip is good enough to get the initial vacuum going without pushing on it with his thumb or something
ugh, i hate this statement so much since boiling is generally 100 C or 212 F since the atmospheric pressure is ASSUMED. but now you alter the pressure but dont SAY youre altering the pressure. so your statment of cold boiling refrains from mentioning CHANGING the pressure. im not inherently mad at you. but when its political crap and then say A topic and C topic but omit the underlying parts the Topic B played in making Topic A and C related. i cant name any right now since there are many moving parts in a A and C topic leap of correlation not being causation. black, criminality, and poor is one of them though but its super analyzed already and sometimes overly simplified or red herringed to the point its not worth it. same with other politcal topics. but yeah cold boiling omiting the PRESSURE adjustment is the type of infomation omission that is used to ugh lie about so much by side stepping the truth then saying, i never said i was adjusting the heat. Lies of Omission is what i call it or Deception by omission. it pisses me off. "the burden of proof" is for the other party to find. witch hunts for the truth if you will.
@@ericolens3 Wow, you really projected a lot of societal problems onto that innocuous RUclips comment. You're not WRONG about everything you mentioned about Deception by Omission...but you REALLY expanded this poor OP's innocent comment. :'(
@@weidwingelobjegdiv that pretty much sums up the "good side" of YT Shorts: RUclipsrs desperately trying to compress all of the things they want to say in a minute. Both hilarious and unnecessarily hard. XD
What? I guess it's just that the boiling point of water is when the pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure so you can make it low by changing the external pressure.
a simple and ideal vapor-compression cycle is composed of four processes: 1-2 compression in a compressor 2-3 heat rejection in a condenser 3-4 throttling in an expansion valve 4-1 heat absorption in an evaporator inside the tubes there is a refrigerant. the refrigerant starts by being compressed in the compressor and thus it heats up. then, it rejects heat to its surroundings through the condenser and leaves the condenser as a liquid. after that, it is throttled so it reaches the evaporator pressure by passing it through an expansion valve or a capillary tube (the principle the video shows). this also causes the refrigerant to cool down. finally, the refrigerant reaches the evaporator where it "sucks" the heat from the fridge so that it gains the necessary energy in order to evaporate back to a gas. this gas goes to the compressor and the cycle repeats itself. hope this helps.👍🏻
@@mr-lacker That's where refrigerant comes in, it's able to be compressed and heated (and the heat expelled near your radiator), then expanded and cooled (and blown into your car) much easier than things like water.
I remember this from Chemistry class. PV=nRT P for Pressure V for Volume n and R are conatants T for Temperature. Volume increased so Pressure had to decrease to keep the equation balanced. T doesn't change because the average temperature of the system remains the same. The water cools but the water vapor is warmer.
This is also how you can make frozen nitrogen :) You pull a vacuum, the molecules with the higher kinetic energy transfer to the gas phase while the average kinetic energy in the liquid phase drops, allowing it to freeze.
Yep! That's how I first learned about this!!!

Well said. There's pros and cons to it, I think.

Thats a good visualization on how a Fridge works. A liquid is being cycled from gas to liquid using a Pressure pump knowing the fact that when liquid boils it sucks heat and when it froze it expels them. Put the zone where it expels/suck heat accordingly and help radiate it with a Fan and you got a fridge.
I finally understand pressure and temperature thanks v sauce!
I am a professional HVAC technician (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and I just want to say you perfectly explained how air conditioners and refrigeration works.
pressure and boiling points are directly tied together. when you raise/lower the pressure of a liquid, you raise/lower its boiling point.
in an a/c or refrigerator, we take high pressure liquid refrigerant and pump it through a metering orifice, which is basically like holding your thumb over the end of a garden hose. After passing through the metering device, the refrigerant is now a much lower pressure, and it will boil at room temperature, which is how it absorbs heat from your house. the fan blows air across loops of pipe that the depressurized refrigerant is pumping through causing it to boil as it goes through the loops, absorbing the heat in the process. Then it goes to the outside unit to re-pressurize in order to raise the boiling point, which causes the now-gas refrigerant to condense back into a high-pressure liquid, dumping the heat it absorbed into the outside air in the process of it's change of state. It's a constant loop of manipulating the boiling point by changing the pressure. high boiling point to dump heat and low boiling point to absorb heat.
thank you for taking the time to explain, good one btw
It depends if molecules will change and density is decreased due to temperature and kinetic energy is same
Ever since I learned how consistently forms of energy were converted into heat in middle school, I’ve always been so confused how something like a fridge worked when energy was supposedly being used to make something colder. I haven’t rested easy since lol. Thanks for explaining 🙏
I came here to say this, and I'm glad an actual expert already did.

I bet Vsauce could inject the water 💦 into one ear and have it come out the other...😮😅😂😂
I swear vsauce knows all the secrets of the universe
Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure (the pressure at which the liquid is launching molecules into the air) becomes equal to the outside pressure. So in other words, the outside gas no longer has the pressure to squeeze and prevent the liquid from turning into gas, so they become the same phase. One way to boil a liquid is by increasing its temperature, and by extension vapor pressure. Another one is to simply decrease the outside pressure, and make them equal that way. Hope this helps!
Make video
Very much so.
So..? How do people at altitudes boil water?
Does decreasing the outside pressure make the water warm?
@@sassyb58 at higher altitudes you would experience lower pressure. This would mean that you would have a lower boiling point making it easier to boil water. This is actually why pressure cookers are much more useful in states like Colorado. Because you can cook your food under higher pressure giving it a higher boiling point. On a sidenote water will boil at room temperature in the vacuum of space.
@@pratz_1337 oh ok thanks
Ah, yes, the one man who would make his water cooler by boiling it, love to see it Vsauce

@@BIG_doinks together, we are vsauce michael
Ha I remember I used to not know who this guy was. Huge mistake
Michael is the type of guy who would cool down the water by boiling it
ugh, i hate this statement so much since boiling is generally 100 C or 212 F since the atmospheric pressure is ASSUMED.
but now you alter the pressure but dont SAY youre altering the pressure.
so your statment of cold boiling refrains from mentioning CHANGING the pressure.
im not inherently mad at you. but when its political crap and then say A topic and C topic but omit the underlying parts the Topic B played in making Topic A and C related.
i cant name any right now since there are many moving parts in a A and C topic leap of correlation not being causation.
black, criminality, and poor is one of them though but its super analyzed already and sometimes overly simplified or red herringed to the point its not worth it.
same with other politcal topics. but yeah
cold boiling omiting the PRESSURE adjustment is the type of infomation omission that is used to ugh lie about so much by side stepping the truth then saying, i never said i was adjusting the heat.
Lies of Omission is what i call it
or Deception by omission.

This is a great classroom demonstration of space and what happens when you're exposed to a vacuum.
This is the sort of thing that makes me interested in physics, and specifically thermodynamics.

@@weidwingelobjegdiv that pretty much sums up the "good side" of YT Shorts: RUclipsrs desperately trying to compress all of the things they want to say in a minute. Both hilarious and unnecessarily hard. XD
HVAC refrigerant theory right there. Awesome demo!
What? I guess it's just that the boiling point of water is when the pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure so you can make it low by changing the external pressure.
@@mr-lacker the water cools down by refrigeration. fridges do it using a compressor
a simple and ideal vapor-compression cycle is composed of four processes:
1-2 compression in a compressor
2-3 heat rejection in a condenser
3-4 throttling in an expansion valve
4-1 heat absorption in an evaporator
inside the tubes there is a refrigerant. the refrigerant starts by being compressed in the compressor and thus it heats up.
then, it rejects heat to its surroundings through the condenser and leaves the condenser as a liquid.
after that, it is throttled so it reaches the evaporator pressure by passing it through an expansion valve or a capillary tube (the principle the video shows). this also causes the refrigerant to cool down.
finally, the refrigerant reaches the evaporator where it "sucks" the heat from the fridge so that it gains the necessary energy in order to evaporate back to a gas.
this gas goes to the compressor and the cycle repeats itself.
hope this helps.👍🏻
Damn, thanks for the explaination ^^
@@mr-lacker That's where refrigerant comes in, it's able to be compressed and heated (and the heat expelled near your radiator), then expanded and cooled (and blown into your car) much easier than things like water.
This made me understand thermodynamics more than any class

@tupocbsher2473 oh wow. That sounds hypnotizing...
@@Klm49 look for «Michael says prime numbers for 3 hours»
Stop giving him ideas
I remember this from Chemistry class. PV=nRT
P for Pressure
V for Volume
n and R are conatants
T for Temperature.
Volume increased so Pressure had to decrease to keep the equation balanced. T doesn't change because the average temperature of the system remains the same. The water cools but the water vapor is warmer.
Michael isn't showing us a chemical reaction, he is simply demonstrating a fraction of his power to control the elements
