Nitrogen has no effect on water although it can be dissolved.

Nitrogen is not hazardous in itself, and in water is not dangerous. However as your body has no use for it when breathed, it can asphyxiate. But in water it has no effect on large biological organisms. High nitrogen content can cause algal blooms in surface areas of water. However, nitrogen can be processed into nitrates by bacteria which can kill fish. Excess nitrogen is removed by humans through urea.

What will happen if you will add hot water to liquid nitrogen?

It depends on how much water, how hot it is, and how much liquid nitrogen there is. The water will initially cause the liquid nitrogen to boil; if there's enough water and it's hot enough, it may make the nitrogen boil explosively. However, if there's enough nitrogen, it will eventually freeze the water.


What does nitrogen do to ponds?

Nitrogen takes up oxogen in fresh bodies of water. If there is too much Nitrogen, it can kill a fresh body of water such as a pond. A sustainable amount of Nitrogen would be 1-100ppm (parts per million). Anything above 100ppm is unhealthy. Anything above 200ppm can destroy an entire ecosystem. Hope this was helpful!

Nitrogen is a crucial component of amino acids and proteins, which are essential for various bodily functions.

How does water pollution affect the nitrogen cycle?

Water pollution affects the nitrogen cycle the least. The nitrogen cycle is the cycle of nitrogen as it enters earth, becomes fixed, and leaves earth, back to the atmosphere. The only way that water pollution can affect the nitrogen cycle is if there is too much trash in one area of a body of water, thus clogging the surface and not allowing algae to absorb the nitrogen. It could also clog the surface and not allow denitrifying bacteria in waterlogged soil to release the nitrogen back into the atmosphere.
