Pouring mercury into liquid nitrogen

- Mercury is the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature, so I wanted to see what would happen if I poured it into liquid nitrogen. This is my first CZcams shorts video and I will be posting more here. I will be using this channel to combine all of the shorter videos that I've made on other platforms (Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, etc). I will also make new ones exclusively for this channel!
WARNING: Do not attempt anything in this video. Mercury is toxic, an environmental hazard, and must be handled appropriately.

The mercury melting out of its ice shell was absolute art
Haha metal pp
Lol yeah it melted before the ice did
Pissing out to be precise.
Is the ice from frozen water in the air? Please explain, I'm really curious
@@askp7104the water vapour condensated on mercury cause it was so cold and it froze instantly aswell
The mercury droplets raining out were so delightful
Oh my goodness. No wonder we love science so much.
Just some Little mercuries going out in the wild water space for the first time
don't drink it though
I agree!
The mercury chunk was pissing
It's all fun and games, until it takes full sized human form and asks you for your car keys.
I don't understand the reference.
@terminallove3531 It's a reference to the liquid metal Terminator from the movie 'Terminator 2'.

Thanks
It is a reference to the greatest action movie ever made.

"Something I've always wanted to do..."
Me: "Drink it"
"...is making it solid"
Me: "Ah yes, of course, naturally."
Yea makes more sense
"Something I've always wanted to do," he says while swirling it inside a bottle.
You can't tell me even at how impossible that option was. Most of us were thinking -Drink It
Literally what I was thinking too! 😆
Intrusive thoughts😂😂😂
I just love how the exterior shell of ice just tries to keep the melting mercury during the melting scene
😁

That’s probably an oxide layer holding it together. I I really wish he gave his own explanation because it looks sick
@@albeil55 it was ice cause of the low temperature of the mercury solid
it looks like ice, it behave like ice, anyway there is normally a certain amount of ice
so it's definitely ice
also, the lowest the temperature is the slowest the oxydation reaction is
i don't know why this one made me laugh so hard, between you smacking it on the table and the mercury almost immediately melting and just making little drops
He was right, remelting the mercury was definitely a good idea and just flat out amazing to watch....over and over again!
Thank you.
“Had no idea what to do, so I melted it again” was a clutch idea man
Adding this video to my wank playlist 😰
What was the clear liquid it was submerged in to thaw the Mercury? Just water?
😂😂😂
@@jonathanarndt739 yeah, water is enough to melt it and won't dissolve too much mercury.
Science bitch!
The mercury chunk emitting beads was actually satisfying.
@Fecal Matter if your first reply was supposed to be a joke, then it’s whooshed over my head.
@Fecal Matter oh, I see what you meant. Nice joke, I sure am a fool for not getting it.
@Fecal Matter they were simply confused. Why are you getting so pressed?
@Fecal Matter Because it is satisfying...? It brings pleasure to see it? It's not just a 'thing' people are saying because it's popular, but because many of us genuinely find it satisfying. If you don't, that's fine; it's your prerogative, but others do.
@Fecal Matter That word was used long before tiktok. I think it started with ASMR. Now stop being a donkey over something you don't understand.

easy. watch, like, comment on a couple of videos like these and you'll get it. i've done that with food shorts before because i wanted to see more cooking videos. it definitely works.
NOW HERE WE GO
LETS DO THIS
I never thought I wanted to see solid Mercury taking a piss. My life is complete
I didn't know vantablack could see at all
Its more ice taking a piss of mercury ^^
Mandem takin a piss ya
Same
LMAO
The part where it's turning white is water *from the air* simultaneously condensing and freezing onto the surface. Then seeing the mercury bleeding out of the ice shell is so cool.
Water vapor in the air condensed and froze around the mercury. I never thought of thermal passivation. Really cool to see the mercury spout from the ice casing.
I love how water created this ice shell around solid mercury, and the mercury itself poured out of a small hole on a side
Mercury peee
Two types of people in the world
@@NeonSonOfXenon yess
Yes we were all there
@@mawuenahafeh7753 I thought the same haha
He’s right, “just melting it again” was absolutely cool.
For real
It was awesome how it instantly froze the water around it then melted inside it's ice cocoon.
Very satisfying to watch
Super cool
It looks like a bunch of bbs falling off, lol
As soon as I hear frozen mercury melting, I picture a T-1000 come back alive.
He doesn't sound like a scientist at all. He sounds like me, a biology student on my first semester just going "what cool shit can we make at the lab??"
Love it
I did physics at university, and we handled liquid nitrogen and dry ice in first year labs.
You bet your ass we put random shit into the liquid nitrogen lol. Rubber bands stop being stretchy and hold their shape after just tens of seconds in it, and if you put dry ice down the drain and pour water down, it makes a pretty waterfall of cloud out the overflow. I bet the only reason you don't see many people that use this stuff regularly messing with it is because they've already done that a bunch and it's lost its novelty lol.
Ah yes my future self
@@trouty7947 oh I know well why we don't see that much people messing with it. But I Waldo know scientists are the biggest man-child you could ever see. My research professor acts like a teen talking about his favorite character from a Netflix series when he starts to talk about experiments and things you could do at a lab like analyzing your hair with a microscope lol.
@@milan.mpeg4 how is being passionate about your work and hobbies being a man-child?
@@someguy3987 not using it as an insult (might even misused it lol, my main lenguage is not English) i just wanted to say they act as children in the sense they are very excited about it. The little glow in their eyes as they describe whatever they are talking about comes to me the same way a child would describe a cartoon they are very fond of.
I love how the ancient alchemists looked at this and were like; “you know, I’m pretty sure this will make you immortal.”
But you'll have to die in this life to become immortal in another one
This is just lies from people who don't actually know what the alchemists actually did
I thought alchemists wanted to turn other metals into gold
To melt it again what did you used
It's not so much that they thought mercury would make you immortal as it was that they used mercury a lot. The "immortality potions" contained mercury, but they also contained other things. Infamously, the Jiajing Emperor was served an "immortality potion" that contained powdered jade and mercury.
The reason they used mercury so much was that it is an amazing solvent. Sort of like how chemists use things like dimethyl ether as solvents when water won't work. Toxic, but necessary.
As for why people (notably several Chinese emperors) drank known poisons to try to achieve immortality isn't really known. Arguments have been made the conclusion "this will make you immortal" came from either an initial feeling of improved health before the toxic effects were noticed, or that the substances halted decomposition of corpses (decay bacteria don't live long drinking mercury either).
This is how I imagined mixing all the soaps in the kitchen when I was a kid would turn out. It didn’t.
What a legend. This guy turned mercury into solid only to melt it again.
Sometimes a necessary evil is needed....

So it's not that the mercury froze, but the liquid nitrogen created a ice like shell around it. The mercury still pours out as if it was always just a liquid

Never would've thought something this simple could be pretty cool, god knows what i missed in highschool chemistry
depends on the temperature ( and pressure!) of the room. Gallium can also be aliquid at "room" temp.
Nile Red: “mercury is the only metal that’s a liquid in room temperature.”
Me who lives in the tropics: *GALLIUM*
@Autistic Dolphin54 Gallium melts at 30°C which is the average of tropical place room temperature, CMIIW
Actually room temperature means a specific temperature in science, which is 20 degrees celcius or 293.15 degrees Kelvin
@@mrthanos2404 Good to know! 20°C is probably warmer than the average Canadian room temperature in Winter.
In chemistry, usually room temperature = 25°C

I worked in a factory that used mercury in large quantities. I would advise this is not something to play with. Extremely toxic.

So here’s an experiment for you take some liquid mercury and some standard iron shavings round to a powder mix it with mercury, and then introduce a magnet. The metal must be a powder, and you will find it for you move a magnet on the outside of a glass container, the magnet will Attract the mercury and the metal mixture in any particular direction you drag the magnet meaning you could pump it into circular directions with a copper tube in the middle, and it will generate electricity. You will also be able to pump this at very high rate of speed, the implications of this will shock you literally.

That was interesting how the ice surrounding the mercury was slower to melt than the mercury, and it held all the mercury in a case, which is why it was able to leak out of the bottom in those beads.
I dont think the mercury ever froze completely, into actual solid form. I think ice was more like a case that held the mercury like a cup and when it melted, it aloud a hole to form and pour it out.
@@DayZ-Klips You could see after he lifted the frozen mercury, how the ice formed on the surface.
@@DayZ-Klips mercury freezes at like -40F. liquid nitrogen is like below -300F. You can watch the layer of ice form on the surface when he takes it out
Also interesting the sound you hear when the mercury hit the glass-container on the first burst.
@@DayZ-Klips except he hit it on the table and the ice casing wasn’t that thick so it would’ve broke then leaked if it was liquid inside.

Liquid nitrogen is kind of overkill for freezing mercury. You only need -39F/-38C to freeze it.
This are the type of shorts i actually wished CZcams recommended to me.
It actually did recommend
This man literally waited for liquid nitrogen to “cool down”
I think it was the mercury he was waiting for to cool though
He was waiting for the dish to cool down
(Bouta get woodshed pog)
I think he meant settle
i think liquid nitrogen boils when it first touches a surface, which is also why it gives you big ass blisters if you touch it but don't give it time to y'know turn your hand into a block of ice
Liquid nitrogen boils at -195°C so the second it's exposed to the air it's already boiling. So...yeah that's pretty cold haha
That’s pretty rad. So if you just left the hardened piece out at room temp, would it eventually melt back to liquid??
