What happens to nitrogen liquid when heated?
There will be a high pressure explosion...within the evaporated gas from the liquid and the heat..
Is liquid nitrogen boiling in a refrigerator a physical or chemical change?
It is a physical change, a change in phase from liquid to gas (evaporation). The nitrogen is chemically the same at the lower liquid temperature, but has some different properties because of its ability to absorb heat. If you cool the nitrogen gas , it will turn liquid again.
What is a good jingle to sell nitrogen?
~nitrogen~it makes bombs explode~nitrogen~it puts you in the mode
Does liquid nitrogen radiate heat?
Generally, no. Liquid nitrogen is "too cold" normally to radiate heat, at least compared to surrounding things. Nitrogen liquifies at extremely low temperature, and because it is so cold, it is surrounded by stuff that is a lot warmer. It is generally a heat absorber. There are circumstances where liquid nitrogen will radiate heat. If we conduct an experiment where we cool liquid nitrogen with liquid helium, the liquid nitrogen will radiate heat. And it will become a solid, giving us solid nitrogen (because it changed its state of matter by "freezing" and becoming a solid).
What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?
when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
Why does the water bottle containing liquid nitrogen explode?
Liquid Nitrogen in a water bottle will explode because of pressure build up. Liquid nitrogen vaporizes rather quickly and when it transitions from liquid to gas, the pressure increases if kept at the same volume. Think of boiling water in a closed container. It is similar to that but liquid nitrogen evaporates at much lower temperature, it will explode at room temperature. Let's say you submerged this water bottle below the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and put liquid nitrogen in the bottle, the bottle will not explode. It is a mechanical explosion (simple transfer of forces) not a chemical explosion like with hydrogen where hydrogen gas ignites.
What do you remove from nitrogen in order for it to be liquid nitrogen?
You remove heat. Nitrogen must be cooled to -196 degrees Celsius to become a liquid.
What happens when you add liquid nitrogen to lava?
The liquid nitrogen has enough coldness to completely cool down lava, but also it has the exact same energy to make lava explode. Think of it as pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand, but if you don't put the right amount of heat (helium) and at the right time your your hand will fall off. Think of your hand falling off as explosion.
Can nitrogen used as a fuel in cars?
Yes , it can be. A living example is a Liquid Nitrogen Vehicle.A liquid nitrogen vehicle is powered by liquid nitrogen, which is stored in a tank. Traditional nitrogen engine designs work by heating the liquid nitrogen in a heat exchanger, extracting heat from the ambient air and using the resulting pressurized gas to operate a piston or rotary engine. Vehicles propelled by liquid nitrogen have been demonstrated, but are not used commercially.

What is the pressure of liquid nitrogen at 80 degrees F?
Commonly liquid nitrogen is stored below 100 psi. It can be stored at 0 psi. All liquid nitrogen tanks are insulated to stop heat from boiling off the liquid.
What will happen when liquid nitrogen leaks out of a storage tank?
It will heat up and evaporate.
Liquid nitrogen is -320 degrees does it have heat energy?
yes. It would cause liquid helium to boil if you mixed them.
Is liquid nitrogen used in refrigerators for cooling?
No. Refrigerators use a substance called Freon that can readily change from liquid to gas to liquid, moving heat from inside the fridge to the outside. Liquid nitrogen is FAR too cold, and requires too much energy to make the change from gas to liquid.Yes, liquid nitrogen is used in refrigerators. Nitrogen is a diatomic gas. The two nitrogen atoms are bond with a triple bond.
Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?
Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.
If you throw a fragile container filled with cold liquid nitrogen will it shatter and explode or freeze the surrounding area?
it would probablyexplode, because of the buildup
