About the temperature of dry ice. It is the same as putting frozen water (ice) in a glass of water. The temperature of the ice and water will be about equal to the freezing point of water. Alcohol is used because it has a freezing point lower than H2O, if you put dry ice in water everything will freeze.

Why does liquid nitrogen freeze?
The temperature of the liquid nitrogen is so low that it freezes water molecules from the air which forms as ice at the opening.
What happens to a banana when you put it in liquid nitrogen?
its particles freeze to make it solid
Why is frozen liquid nitrogen dangerous?
Well technically if it was frozen then it would not be a liquid. The reason why liquid nitrogen is dangerous is because of its low temperatures. To have nitrogen which is normally a gas to become a liquid you must make the temperature extremely low. If you stick anything into this liquid nitrogen it will freeze it. This is because it is below the freezing point for most organic structures but now below the freezing point for nitrogen. For nitrogen to become a solid the temperatures must go even lower.
Does liquid nitrogen Sublimate?
Liquid nitrogen is not dry ice. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and liquid nitrogen is pure nitrogen in liquid form. Dry ice is frozen nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is also frozen nitrogen, but is also pressurized. That's why it's in large, steel boxes. Chur.
Advantages and disadvantages of nitrogen?
It is more simple to transport liquid nitrogen compared to gaseous nitrogen.
If liquid nitrogen freezes everything why is itself a liquid?
liquid nitrogen will not freeze everything. Hydrogen and helium will remain a gas when exposed to liquid nitrogen.
Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?
No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.
Why does liquid nitrogen freeze?
The temperature of the liquid nitrogen is so low that it freezes water molecules from the air which forms as ice at the opening.
Can liquid nitrogen freeze a bubble?
only in imaginationland
Does liquid nitrogen freeze water?
Of course, it is possible !
What kind of liquid do you use to freeze things?
As a general rule, liquids don't freeze things. But the gas, Liquid Nitrogen, can freeze things.
How long does it take to freeze an insect?
If you dip them into liquid nitrogen (LIN) they will freeze instantly.
What gas or liquid pumped into water would cause it to freeze instantly?
Liquid nitrogen
How does liquid nitrogen freeze things?
Under normal circumstances, liquid nitrogen is at a temperature of less than -196C - pretty cold!!!
Can there be liquid nitrogen?
Yes, liquid nitrogen exists. It is sold in strong, insulated containers and is used to instantly freeze biological specimens or tissue.
Can liquid nitrogen give you superpowers?
No. Liquid nitrogen is nothing like radioactive waste or a biological virus. It would freeze your hands off on contact.
If you put something in Liquid nitrogen that does not contain water would it still freeze?
If it contained any liquid, it would freeze. If it did not contain any liquid, it would get VERY cold.
