What would happen if u drank Liquid Oxygen?

Question

I was just wondering what would happen

Answer 1

you die!

liquid oxygen is only found at very very low temperatures at sea level, so your insides you freeze (crystallize) and you would die.

Answer 2

Actually I have seen it done as a party piece by a chemistry lecturer from the Open University. I have it on video somewhere. He pours liquid O2 into a bucket and first washes with it, then he takes a glass and sloshes some in it and slowly drinks it. You can see the vapour coming out of his mouth.

Don't try this at home children!

Answer 3

It's psyically impossible. Liquid oxygen is only liquid because it is pressurized. In order to 'dump' it in your mouth, you would need to release the valve that holds it in the container. It would come out as a super-cold 'spray' (under -100 degrees C), and freeze any skin that it hit. In short, you would die long before you swallowed any. But, if you want to try something that is similar, try eating dry ice.

Answer 4

if it was possible you'd be dead in a fraction of a second, although even if you did let it vapourise and breathed the vapour - guess what - you'd die! we don't breath oxygen as a rule. breathing elevated oxygen levels at atmospheric pressure or increased pressures of air for prolonged periods can result in a form of hypoxia - you'll get dizzy, giggly, your vision will go, cell damage from free oxygen will occur, your pulmonary and central nervous systems will be irreperably damaged - Don't do it!

Answer 5

If you really want to know, then the only way to find out is to try doing it.
However, I would not recommend doing it. You would not be around to tell the tale. The substance "wants" to return to its gaseous state and will get the heat from somewhere. If it's inside your body, there won't be many choices of the source of that heat.
Short answer - you'd die.

Answer 6

You cannot drink liquid oxygen. It not possible.
Liquid oxygen is a bluish translucent magnetic liquid obtained by compressing gaseous oxygen and then cooling it below its boiling point; it is used as an oxidizer in rocket propellants.
So forget about drinking it.

Answer 7

depening on quantity - you'd either suffer sever cold burn or you would die - the Liquid O2 is usually kept under pressue - to have it liquid in a drinking vessel it would need to be extremely cold. You drink it - it burns - it expands rapidly. You explode!

Answer 8

You would die, painfully.

Oxygen liquifies at a temperature of -138 degrees C or 90 degrees Kelvin.

Answer 9

o2 is a gas at room temperature and at 0 deg c even so if you have liquid o2 it would be below freezing infact so low that you inerds would crystalise
you would nt survive that

Answer 10

Liquid oxygen only exists at extremely low temperatures, it would evaporate at room temperature. You wouldn't get it near your mouth before it became a gas again.
