  2. Liquid nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_nitrogen

    Because the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F), a tremendous amount of force can be generated if liquid nitrogen is vaporized in an enclosed space. In an incident on January 12, 2006 at Texas A&M University , the pressure-relief devices of a tank of liquid nitrogen were malfunctioning and later sealed.

  3. Electrophile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophile

    When water (H 2 O) is added and the mixture heated, ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) is produced. The "spare" hydrogen atom from the water goes into "replacing" the "lost" hydrogen and, thus, reproduces sulfuric acid. Another pathway in which water molecule combines directly to the intermediate carbocation (lower way) is also possible.

  4. Nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen

    Air balloon submerged in liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquid which looks like water. When insulated in proper containers such as dewar flasks, it can be transported and stored with a low rate of evaporative loss. [99] A container vehicle carrying liquid nitrogen. Like dry ice, the main use of liquid nitrogen is

    In the second part, the person in the video cracks an egg open into the liquid and the content solidifies very quickly as you can see after it's taken out. WATCH: See how a GoPro handles a torture ...

  6. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

    The nitrogen bonds to the surface metals and has electro-negative properties that help exclude unwanted ions and molecules, while phosphate, sulfate, nitrate and hydroxyl surface ions block chlorine and prevent corrosion. 10 mA/cm 2 can be achieved using 1.52 and 1.55 V in alkaline electrolyte and seawater, respectively. [54]

  7. Electrophilic amination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophilic_amination

    A nitrogen bound to both a good electrofuge and a good nucleofuge is known as a nitrenoid (for its resemblance to a nitrene). [2] Nitrenes lack a full octet of electrons are thus highly electrophilic; nitrenoids exhibit analogous behavior and are often good substrates for electrophilic amination reactions.

  8. Nitrogen compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_compounds

    Although it is not a nitrogen hydride, hydroxylamine (NH 2 OH) is similar in properties and structure to ammonia and hydrazine as well. Hydrazine is a fuming, colourless liquid that smells similarly to ammonia. Its physical properties are very similar to those of water (melting point 2.0 °C, boiling point 113.5 °C, density 1.00 g/cm 3 ...

  9. Pyrophoricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrophoricity

    The creation of sparks from metals is based on the pyrophoricity of small metal particles, and pyrophoric alloys are made for this purpose. [2] Practical applications include the sparking mechanisms in lighters and various toys, using ferrocerium; starting fires without matches, using a firesteel; the flintlock mechanism in firearms; and spark testing ferrous metals.
