Liquid Nitrogen to FREEZE H2O
« on: July 16, 2014, 01:20:05 AM »
Hello chemistry gurus!

how much liquid nitrogen does is take to freeze one tray of a residential refrigerator water tray?

A back of envelope estimate says ~1.6 kg liq. N2 / kg water.

Approx.  half of that if you allow the evolved cold gas to equilibrium but that might be hard.

can you please tell how much is that in ounces?
my tray holds or my measured amount is 4.5 ounces... maybe I just convert kg to ounces? correct?
so how much nitrogen will freeze 4.5 ounces?
but I want to capture liq . nitrogen after it dissipates(freezes the water)..

We like to help people help themselves on this forum, not just spout answers.  You've been given a fair start:  curouscat: said, 1.6 kg liquid nitrogen to 1 kg pure water.  You say you have 4.5 ounces.  Can you calculate backward?

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
