Here we freeze acetone with liquid nitrogen.

This is a little different from freezing water because the mist produced is very dense and you can actually scoop it up in your hand very easily. I'm not actually touching liquid nitrogen, I'm just touching the acetone mist above it.

Also when it freezes the acetone becomes a snow rather than just creating a sheet of ice like in water.

  • your knee isn't on the ground

  • @hedrick12000 so, the answer OBVIOUSLY is to get some acetone and liquid nitrogen and do this experiment for her.

  • I can only imagine how good the room smelled after this experiment, lol

  • @Koroistro kekekekeke *trollface*

  • @LeGuyIncognito GAH! Yesterday i had that idea , remembered that video and was gonna to post it. Damn u D=

  • very fair point,though you wouldn't catch me putting my hands in that with only thin plastic gloves what a knob head

  • @earthday78 Acetone is flammable, but not explosive. Acetone vapor is enough heavier than air that it doesn't usually form explosive mixtures with air, though it can and will flow across a floor and pool in the low spots until it rises enough to (for instance) be ignited by a gas appliance pilot flame -- so, some danger of fire, but very little danger of explosion. Now, if that had been liquid oxygen, the mixture would have been a high explosive...

  • Why does the mist change when acetone solidifies?

  • This guys voice would make chemestry pretty interesting.

  • science, a lead to FOOD perhaps <<<< MA Rated here
