You mean 48 comments that wonder what would happen if you put mercury in liquid nitrogen? At least all these kids are interested in science. Its pretty cool if you think about it.

[@megasupergames]

+Andy Jones In this case, it's actually a pretty interesting question. Mercury is the only metal that's a liquid at room temperature, but how low is its melting point, really? I think seeing mercury freeze sounds like an interesting experiment.

[@lavahawk]

its similar to gallium its not really that intresting

[@heccinv]

nearly impossible

[@rohithvkrishnan5269]

helium had so low of a boiling point like under -218c so it is nearly impossible!

[@fdnt7_]

yeah it's boiling point is 4.222 K or -269 C . It's so near to absolute zero. So it's possible but extremely hard to make liquid He.

[@therealtimmyjimmy1306]

its actually pretty easy, you just let it decompress extremely quickly so it cools fast.

[@redruby9748]

Making liquid helium is like trying to boil tungsten, possible but very difficult.

[@electronicsNmore]

I like Cody's videos, especially his mining/refining videos, watched many of them over the past couple years, and left many comments. I think he replied back once, unlike you, and many other large channels that always took the time to reply back to me. I myself reply to countless people on a daily basis. I removed all my mercury fillings 17 years ago. Mercury has no place in the human body. Every time you chew, small amounts of Mercury vapor is given off from a silver amalgam. Excellent video!

[@TheKingofRandom]

Shane Westy there's a german channel kind of dedicated to gallium. I'll suggest it, and tell you, if he does it. Guess there won't happen too much tho, since it's density probably denies a great reaction. Too heavy to actually "overcook"

[@jaredsimpson7452]

Love seeing both of y'all making videos together. Also love how Cody has that awkward antisocial mad scientist like socializing skills, I think he's been spending a little too much alone time in his lab with his science experiments he occupies himself way too well 😂 People like him though are probably the smartest people I have ever met though because they spend all there time learning instead of socializing. In return they have terrible social skills but are smart af because they occupy themselves by constantly fulfilling there own curiosity. If you think about it, there is literally not a single thing Cody doesn't know how to do but it all came at a price that ended up being totally worth it.

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

You should solidify some gas, maybe Xenon since it's freezing point is relatively high, and then energize it to see what happens. Most gasses can light up when energized, but I want to see if they still will in solid form.

[@sammyblackchow9541]

The beauty of a mercury manometer is that it is a prime standard. No calibration needed. It's as accurate as your measuring of the mercury column.

[@AmirAli-bo9du]

My science teacher said that theoretically anything can melt at a certain temperature so can you make liquid wood?

[@FlaminTubbyToast]

normalguy821 well yes... but if you control for temperature volume and a singular molecule type then it would be interesting to see sugar or fiber at .01 ATM or less. I mean that alone would be the same thing as increasing the temperature 100 fold.

[@calohtar]

normalguy821 Melting (and phase change in general) is a physical reaction, not a chemical reaction. You are not breaking any bonds. The individual molecules stay the same - you're simply increasing the distance between them. Wood, however, is not made of individual molecules. It is a polymer, which means the molecules are bonded to each other. If you add a lot of heat, they won't undergo a physical phase change, they will simply chemically react into a new compound.

mercury is still used to measure differential pressure. the HVAC commissioning engineers use it on water boxes to measure the pressure drops in water systems

[@spanz9538]

Now these are the kinds of youtuber you should be collabing with

[@carlrobinrydbergh5534]

Yum, mercury vapors. When you lower the pressure in the tube of mercury it gets more volatile and more goes right into your chest...

[@HighFidelityFox]

Tryder pure mercury/vapor aren't toxic. Mercury salts are toxic.

[@carlrobinrydbergh5534]

Pure mercury is not toxic if it stays OUTSIDE your body. When you inhale the vapors the mercury gets absorbed into the mucous membranes in your lungs locking it into the body. The mercury then eventually further reacts to produce toxic organic salts that are harmful to the brain and that the body cannot get rid off due the fact that mercury salts tend to be fat-soluble. Do not be naive when it comes to mercury, it should be handled with caution.

[@jort93z]

cody did test the amount of mercury in his blood before(and he said he'll do again in the future). the last time he did, the amount of mercury in his body was perfectly in the normal levels. lead was a little on the high side but still considered normal. And thats after sticking his bare hand into mercury. He does work with mercury a lot. I don't think the next test will be any different. elemental mercury does not dissolve into the body very well.

[@carlrobinrydbergh5534]

Having your hand in liquid mercury is fine because its OUTSIDE your body and the skin tissue does not absorb the mercury. As long as you do not have any cuts on your hand of course or it will get into your body.

[@iPownYouN00B]

they're just using their tongue's to up the pressure not actually inhaling.
