Best Answer

Although well insulated, the tank will gradually warm and as it does so the liquid Nitrogen will boil off (the gas is allowed to escape from the tank which is not sealed and pressurized). This happens gradually, so the liquid Nitrogen can be stored for as long as some remains in the tank (this will depend on the size of the tank (Dewer - see link below)).

How do you handle liquid nitrogen?

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.


Why can't liquid air have liquid water in it?

Liquid air is air (nitrogen, oxygen and other gases) that has been super cooled to change its phase from gas to liquid. At these temperatures, water will be solid. Water turns to ice at 0 degrees C. Nitrogen and oxygen turn to liquid (liquid air) at about -196 degrees C and -183 degrees C, respectively. Water went solid a long time ago when considering how cold these gases are as a liquid.
