How strong of a container would you need to hold liquid nitrogen at room temperature? So strong that it's just cheaper to make more and just store it at atmospheric pressure?
@Ormaaj - The liquid nitrogen IS stored at room temperature. Liquid nitrogen is so cold because it's evaporation to a gas is highly endothermic, which brings the temperature down.
Is it true that you can stick your hand into liquid nitrogen for less than 2 seconds and it will not freeze instantly because of the ledinfrost effect?
Plants get nitrogen from soil. Some plants have bacteria in them which make compounds of nitrogen that plants can use, but most plants do not have these bacteria and have to get the nitrogen compounds that they need from the soil they're planted in.
@GreaserChrist1 Thats a little sad... No, if you plants need nitrogen, they need nitrogen containing compounds such as nitrates and nitrites. Oxygen is oxygen and water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. Hence H2O
maybe I just don't understand enough about chemistry to even bother asking, but would it be out of line to suppose that in some of the coldest parts of the world, these gases would/could exist in liquid form?
Most explosives contains single N atoms in the monecules, and when it detonates, the N atoms reacts to form N2. The more nitrogen, the more powderful explosive!(For some types of explosives..)
the human body is made of with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight , making the body's mass 65% Oxygen and 10% Hydrogen , 99 percent of the humans body mass is made up of just SIX elements, oxygen,carbon,hydrogen,nitroge n,calcium,phosphorus
would you guys make a periodic table of elements of the human body and explain all of the atomistic and molecular functions in the human body to the best of your abilities? Namaste my friends
alot of the molecules in the himan body is very large and complex, many of them are still not understood by humans yet. these guys feild of expertise are chemistry in materials, if you want to know about chemical in living things you'll need to look at a specific section call "bio chemistry".
if you're looking at the basic principles then it's same. but if you're looking at how molecules interacts in human and it's alot more complex since there's so much things involved and so much chemical reactions going on at one time
Of course they will! Thats because you asked so nicely and your opinion matters so much. Not really, like in the real world nobody cares what you say.
it is obvious that you cant just stick your hand into liquid Nitrogen but how is it that you can cook with it and eat it i have seen this done plenty of times
lol you can take the lens out of somebodies eye, when they are suitably anesthetized. lol he didn't want people going around and just pulling the lens out of each others eyes.
Nitrous oxide is the best thing ever made!!! I broke my leg and was given all the nitrous oxie I wanted while they set my leg and I just laughed my ass of for an hour!! BEST STUFF EVER MADE!!!
The stuff is great. A mate bought a whole box of whippets - little nitrous oxide canisters used for the food industry for some reason. He made a cracker out of a piece of pipe, to open the valve and we would fill balloons with them and inhale 2 or 3. It was hillarious.
in some very clever sight-corrective surgery, you remove the lens from the eye very carefully in a delicate operation.
then you freeze it, and you can actually use a LATHE to skim bits off the lens to create the correct shape. crazy, right?
sounds a bit grisly, but i imagine it works a treat. the crystals from freezing would be really tiny, because of the quick freezing process, so the lens itself shouldn't be damaged internally.
Hi. Yes, atmospheric nitrogen is N2. N2 doesn't react very well at all. The point of a vacuum chamber is to get rid of the gasses. Since N2 is a gas, that would disappear too. However, if you mean just having it at low pressure then yes, it would be a less reactive with the few things it does react with eg Lithium. Nitrogen isn't affected by magnetic fields very much at all though, like all matter, it can be ionised unless at ridiculous high temperature. I don't know what you mean by implosion.
hi AlmightScoop, thx 4 your time. i have a friend who is a truck driver, and once he was carrying LN. after the delivery he forgot to leave opened the tank, and the next morning the huge tank on his truck collapsed on itself?!?
which kind of reaction can bend an 8 mm steel tank? N2 into single N, the opposite, or else...
Hi. I don't think that is due to a chemical reaction. N2 is very unreactive. I'm not sure what happened to your friends truck. Normally there is a pressure sensitive valve which releases gas if the pressure builds up. It is possible that the tank released the gas, cooling it down, and the valve got frozen open. More gas released, futher cooling the vehicle. The low temperature could weaken the structure, or the the vacuum insulation could've failed. I don't really know.
hi AlmightScoop, the temperature (from cold to hot) would have caused an explosion, instead the tank imploded. could it be possible that N2 release would produce a vacuum by preventing outside air going back in to an empty tank?
Sure, a vacuum is the only thing I can think of that would cause an implosion. I'm not really sure what happened. Perhaps there were two chambers. One full and one empty. The cooling from the evaporating liquid nitrogen in one chamber causing the air in the other chamber to condense and form a vacuum. Then the empty chamber collapses under the weight of the atmosphere. That seems plausible although I'm really not sure what went on.

Lowest ever recorded temperature on earth was −189.2°C (−128.6°F) at the Russian Vostok Station in Antarctica July 21, 1983.
So no, you can't find them like that.
You can find even frozen nitrogen in triton's poles (Neptune's moon's). It has a melting point of -210 °C (-346 °F) or 63 Kelvin (absolute).
So you can imagine it's cold on Triton.
