    There are a lot of people commenting that the temperature of the liquid nitrogen didn't actually decrease, but that it only froze due to the pressure decrease. This is not true at all. In general you cannot make a liquid turn into a solid by decreasing pressure. For nitrogen especially, you would actually have to INCREASE pressure to turn the liquid into a solid at the same temperature. So the reason you get solid nitrogen in a vacuum is due to the rapid evaporation of nitrogen that lowers the temperature. The same thing happens with water. It freezes due to the rapid evaporation. Here is a link to the phase diagram of nitrogen so you can see what I mean:

      Hydraulic Press Action Can a small vacuum in a big vacuum survive? Will It cause a hole of emptiness?

  • @charginginprogresss
    @charginginprogresss 7 лет назад +6

    I'm not fond of physics but I think I understood why it vanished like that.
    Seeing the phase diagram of nitrogen, it shows that at 0 pressure or close to it, there is no liquid state, so when you opened the vacuum, you instantly raised the temperature inside the chamber (since outside it's 290K~ vs 63K of inside) and the solid started to sublimate directly from solid to gas. But as soon as it started doing it, pressure was rising too, so it soon reached a point where there were three states, so it started melting and then evaporating instead of directly sublimating. That's very cool.

    • @Castodas
      @Castodas 5 лет назад +1

      I think it did go into a liquid state first. the 'snowball' mass shrunk as it melted, spreading itself all across the bottom of the chamber. Then because it was spread out so much all the molecules were able to heat up at as approximately the same rate so you had a near instantaneous evaporation of the nitrogen spill. following that was the vapors that seemed to fog up the entire chamber briefly.

  • @LeoMorikoTheKnight
    @LeoMorikoTheKnight 7 лет назад

    I've actually seen this done before (By Flinn Science labs).
    The thing is, if you have a powerful enough vacuum, you can adjust nitrogen's freezing point to be much higher, and the only reason it doesn't stay solid is because it's difficult to get the temperature required to keep it there, so it passes back and forth as the air pressure fluctuates on the surface.
    When it freezes, the liquid beneath heats it up again, causing the instability cycle. Quite interesting stuff, really.
