Purpose
:
Show the behavior of a binary fluid as it passes through the critical temperature.
I4-52: CARBON DIOXIDE BALLOON ON LIQUID NITROGEN
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Demonstrate condensation sublimation.
I4-51: SUBLIMATION OF DRY ICE - PROJECTION
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Demonstrate sublimation of carbon dioxide (dry ice) from a solid into a gas.
I4-35: LOWERING THE FREEZING POINT OF WATER USING SALT
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Demonstrate that the freezing point of water can be reduced by putting ice in a salt water bath.
I4-32: FREEZING WATER BY PUMPING
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Freeze water by reducing the ambient pressure.
I4-19: CONDENSATION OF STEAM - SODA CAN COLLAPSE
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Surprising demonstration using condensation of steam.
I4-14: CHANGE OF STATE WITH BANG
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Demonstrate that the volume of a gas is much greater than the volume of the same amount of liquid.
I4-13: CHANGE OF STATE OF LN - POPPING CAN LID
Category:
I4 Changes of State
Purpose
:
Show the increase in volume which accompanies the transition from liquid to gaseous nitrogen.
