Hey guys! We all know that metallic lithium, unlike other alkali metals, reacts with nitrogen,
so I have a question: is it possible to extinguish burning lithium with liquid nitrogen?
What do you think will happen if we add a small amount of liquid nitrogen to burning lithium?
It will burn stronger. It will burn weaker. It will burn out
So, let's see
Yep, lithium doesn’t burn in liquid nitrogen, and burning lithium can be extinguished with liquid nitrogen.
Now I will show you two gases that definitely should not extinguish burning lithium.
Look at the reaction of burning lithium with dinitrogen monoxide vapors
Of course I can't but show a reaction with liquid oxygen
Take a look at this black hole formed by the reaction
And the bonus reaction: Burning lithium with liquid chlorine!
Thanks for watching guys, don't forget to subscribe like comment
In the next video you will have even more liquid chlorine. Seeya there
