1. Liquid nitrogen

   Liquid nitrogen—LN2—is nitrogen in a liquid state at low temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of about −195.8 °C (−320 °F; 77 K). It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air. It is a colorless, low viscosity liquid that is widely used as a coolant.

1. liquid nitrogen

   Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature. It is a colorless, odorless clear liquid which is produced commercially by fractional distillation of liquid air. It's often used as a refrigerant due to its ultra-low boiling point of -196 degrees Celsius, commonly used in cryogenic freezing, for preserving biological samples, in cryotherapy, and in cooking techniques to create special effects due to its rapid evaporation. It is also used in vacuum flasks, as it can maintain temperature well below the freezing point of water. It is inert, non-toxic, non-flammable and can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue.

1. Liquid nitrogen

   Liquid nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature. It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air. Liquid nitrogen is a colorless clear liquid with density of 0.807 g/mL at its boiling point and a dielectric constant of 1.43. Liquid nitrogen is often referred to by the abbreviation, LN2 or "LIN" or "LN" and has the UN number 1977. At atmospheric pressure, liquid nitrogen boils at −196 °C and is a cryogenic fluid that can cause rapid freezing on contact with living tissue. When appropriately insulated from ambient heat, liquid nitrogen can be stored and transported, for example in vacuum flasks. Here, the very low temperature is held constant at 77 K by slow boiling of the liquid, resulting in the evolution of nitrogen gas. Depending on the size and design, the holding time of vacuum flasks ranges from a few hours to a few weeks. Liquid nitrogen can easily be converted to a solid by placing it in a vacuum chamber pumped by a rotary vacuum pump. Liquid nitrogen freezes at 63 K. Despite its reputation, liquid nitrogen's efficiency as a coolant is limited by the fact that it boils immediately on contact with a warmer object, enveloping the object in insulating nitrogen gas. This effect, known as the Leidenfrost effect, applies to any liquid in contact with an object significantly hotter than its boiling point. More-rapid cooling may be obtained by plunging an object into a slush of liquid and solid nitrogen rather than liquid nitrogen alone.

Examples of Liquid Nitrogen in a Sentence

1. Jessica Wu:

   In the office, I remove brown spots with laser, chemical peels, or freezing [them] with a liquid nitrogen spray.

2. Maxi Rein Rondonuwu:

   Liquid nitrogen is not only dangerous when consumed, it can cause severe breathing difficulties from nitrogen fumes that are inhaled over a long time.

3. The FDA:

   Liquid nitrogen, although non-toxic, can cause severe damage to skin and internal organs if mishandled or accidently ingested due to the extremely low temperatures it can maintain, inhaling the vapor released by a food or drink prepared by adding liquid nitrogen immediately before consumption may also cause breathing difficulty, especially among individuals with asthma.

4. Julianna McKillop:

   I'd take the tanks of liquid nitrogen in Dr. Graham's Cadillac and drive up to CalTech and talk to the students (and professors).

5. Maxi Rein Rondonuwu:

   Schools must educate children in the community about the dangers of liquid nitrogen in food (to) prevent more cases of severe food poisoning.
