liquid nitrogen is very cold and vaporises in the air.
keep in a sealed container to avoid loss of mass.
it will crack rubber and some plastics, it will also freeze (and kill) skin
i use leather gloves and a metal container with a long handle (or tongs)
liquid nitrogen should not be inhaled and is generaly unsafe, pls research

When handling liquid nitrogen, it is important to follow proper safety precautions. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat to protect skin and eyes from contact. Handle liquid nitrogen with insulated gloves or tongs to avoid direct contact, and ensure adequate ventilation in the working area to prevent build-up of nitrogen gas. Also, be aware of the risks associated with the extreme cold temperatures and rapid evaporation of liquid nitrogen.

What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?
when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
What is colder - liquid nitrogen or liquid heluim?
Liquid helium is a lot colder than liquid nitrogen.
Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?
Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.
What is the melting point of liquid nitrogen?
Liquid nitrogen has no melting point. A melting point is the temperature when a solid turns into a liquid. Since liquid nitrogen is already a liquid, it has no melting point. It is already melted, compared to solid nitrogen.
Is liquid nitrogen supposed to be left on the skin after treatment?
Nitrogen must be cooled to a very low temperature to become liquid nitrogen. At room temperature, liquid nitrogen will change from the liquid phase to the gas phase. Therefore, if the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen will almost instantly become a gas and evaporate away from the skin. It is impossible to "leave" it on the skin, as this reaction is almost instantaneous and no liquid nitrogen is left behind.
What phase is liquid nitrogen in at room temperature?
Liquid nitrogen is liquid.
What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?
when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is an element.
Who discovered liquid nitrogen?
Bob discovered liquid nitrogen.
Can liquid nitrogen gas be condensed?
Liquid nitrogen is condensed gaseous nitrogen. When a gasis condensed it is called to be in liquid state.
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.
What is the solvent and solute in liquid nitrogen?
There is neither a solvent nor solute in liquid nitrogen as it is not a solution. Liquid nitrogen is pure elementalnitrogen in liquid form.
How can prepare nitrogen liquid?
The liquid nitrogen is prepared by fractional distillation of liquid air.
What is colder - liquid nitrogen or liquid heluim?
Liquid helium is a lot colder than liquid nitrogen.
Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?
Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.
Is liquid nitrogen a fluid or a solid?
liquid nitrogen is probably a fluid.
What if liquid nitrogen was poured on the floor?
Liquid nitrogen is quickly evaporated.
