Abstract:

Drop water on a hot plate and liquid nitrogen on the lecture table.

Equipment

Location

ID Number

Dropper

[:ThermoCabinetBayB1: TD, Bay B1, Shelf #2]

0.5 L liquid nitrogen

[:ThermoCabinetBayB1: TD, Bay B1, Shelf #2]

Hotplate

[:ThermoCabinetBayA5: TD, Bay A5, Shelf #2]

250 mL of water

Important Setup Notes:

  • This demonstration requires about 250 mL - 500 mL of liquid nitrogen.

Setup and Procedure:

  1. Plug in the hotplate and turn in on. It takes a few minutes to heat up.
  2. Using the dropper, drop several drops on the hotplate.
  3. Pour the liquid nitrogen on the table top and compare the behavior of the two fluids.

Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:

  • Exercise caution throughout this demonstration. The hotplate can cause BURNS, and the liquid nitrogen can cause SEVERE FROSTBITE!

Discussion:

Discuss the physics behind the demonstration, explaining some of the various steps of the demonstration when appropriate.
