    About that whole never bringing it near grease or flammable oil thing... lol oh and btw liquid oxygen is denser than water ice so the water should float, I.e those white specs suspended in the liquid were actually solid argon. which menes that you were getting a lot of air into the test tube.

    I used to work in a lab designing portable LOX breathing devices for patients with decreased lung function, and we had huge coolers full of LOX to play around with. We eventually descended into throwing gloved handfuls of it at each other when the other guy wanst looking. You know, as a prank. Because it stung really bad for a split second. Eventually, we triggered the alarms that warned of explosive levels of oxygen gas in the building, and caused a full scale evacuation of the entire facility, requiring not only the entire county fire department, but also a bomb squad to be called in. I got paid a lot of money at that job. Good times!

      It's not like it's gonna freeze your hand straight away. It's a liquid, and due to a temp. difference, there won't be immediate contact of O2 with a skin anyway. I guess... But some nylon gloves or similar for just minimum safety should be applied.

      @lucaslucas191202 5 лет назад +32

      You don't wear gloves when you deal with liquid nitrogen because it's only dangerous if it's in contact with your skin for a long period of time, meaning it's more dangerous to have gloves on where the liquid nitrogen can get stuck.

    0:17 - "...but if we increase pressure enough or lower the temperature enough we can put it back into a liquid" - well, if a substance is above it's critical point you can't "put it back" into a liquid, no matter how much pressure you'll exert. Oxygen at "normal temperature" happens to be way above it's critical point (which is approx. 155 K, or -118,5°C/ -181.5°F @ approx 5 MPa/ 50 atm/ 725 PSI), ditto for nitrogen or argon.

    I remember a "magic with chemistry" show when I was young, in which the demonstrator soaked a cigar in liquid O2 and then lit it. It burned like a flare.
    In another demo, a wad of foam rubber was stuffed into a metal tube which was closed on one end, then soaked with liquid O2 then ignited. The foam did a mild explosion and burst out of the tube... fun stuff. Unfortunately when the same demo was done a few years later, the tube shattered, sending shards of metal flying. One youngster in the front row of the auditorium was hit in the eye, IIRC. One might speculate that when the metal was supercooled it became brittle, and years of being used for that demo left it cracked and weakened. That particular item was removed from future "magic with chemistry" shows.

      The by far best excursion I ever did while in school was in a "deep temp laboratory" - first the guy let us play around with liquid nitrogen (we froze and smashed a lot of stuff^^) and at the end he got either liquid air or liquid oxygen (i think it was the first, but since its liquid the oxygen density is way better if i remember right) and then he lit a cigar on fire and droped it into the beaker (we weren't allowed to look directly at it) but the cigar was gone in like 0.1 sec and it pretty much looked like a flash bang :D - parts of the beaker melted

    Hold up, Oxygen has already crossed Critical Temperature at -118.6 degrees Celsius. Cannot be liquified by just increasing pressure alone at room temperature. Increasing pressure above 50.5 bar it will go into a super critical state where gas and liquid phases are indistinguishable. Cooling is the more practical way to liquify it.

    For safety, you should be wearing cryogenic gloves when handling liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen.
    When I needed to collect liquid oxygen I just passed a bunch of air through a cold trap immersed in liquid nitrogen. Since the nitrogen has a lower boiling point it just passes through and the oxygen is collected. That way you don't even need to set up a reaction to generate the oxygen.

  • @Lwnmwrboy5
    @Lwnmwrboy5 3 года назад

    Nice video. You should have purged the test tube with oxygen prior to cooling it down since you will have condensed any residual water vapor in the air that was trapped in the tube prior. As a side note, this can lead to a dangerous situation in the lab when you are working with vacuum and a trap. You should never cool your trap prior to turning on vacuum since you can condense liquid oxygen in the trap. The trap will have grease and generally you are pulling off organics into the trap. Your previous video on oxygen generation shows what happens when you mix pure oxygen and hydrocarbon. This has led to many explosions in labs in university settings.

    Greetings Mr.Nile. First of all i have seen your videos and i appreciate the experiments that you conduct. I have ever seen you creating a pure cookie and I figured, if the molecule of water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, can you use the isotopic concept of understanding that shows that if you combine two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen, it will create water. Therefore if we can mix 50 milliliters of liquid oxygen and 100 milliliters of liquid hydrogen it would create water. Let us make things even more interesting by making liquid deuterium oxide (heavy water) with the results you will obtain from the first experiment. i would appreciate your response concerning this experimental events.
