The Sunset Shows

The Sunset Shows are very interesting and are usually different each time. This time we got told about the different forms of substances and we got shown two examples of them.

First we got shown Dry Ice, you would never guess what dry ice is if you don’t know. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide and it has a temperature of –78.5 degrees Celsius! Dry ice is not as hard as ice and is white in colour; it also dissolves into the air very quickly.

The second example we got shown was liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is a liquid form of nitrogen (which you can easily tell from the name). Liquid nitrogen has a temperature of –196 degrees Celsius. At the Sunset Shows a few things got put in Liquid nitrogen including a marshmallow, a banana and a balloon. The marshmallow was soft before it went in and hard & crumbly when it came out. The banana was soft when it went in and was hard when it came out. The balloon was big when it went in and it looked like it had very little air in it when it came out but t very quickly got its size back.

The Sunset shows are very enjoyable and are a nice way to spend the late afternoon(s).
