What temperature does nitrogen gas burn?

Nitrogen burns to form Nitrogen Dioxide at about 2200F. It is an exothermic reaction, meaning it will produce heat sufficient to sustain itself if the heat is confined, for example in an internal combustion engine.

A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.


Can you use nitrogen in your car?

No, as nitrogen on its own does not support combustion. Combustion is technically an oxidation process (reaction of a chemical with oxygen) and without oxygen, combustion of any fuel would be impossible to achieve.If you are suggesting using nitrogen as a fuel, that is not viable as well since nitrogen is not highly combustible (otherwise air which is 23% oxygen and 75% nitrogen would permanently be combusting).Nitrogen storage would also be a problem since to store nitrogen as liquid, very high pressures are needed and liquid nitrogen is very cold (-190 Degrees C)
