Advantages and disadvantages for geosequestration?

It is the process of capturing and separating carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions from brown coal and pumping them into underground reservoirs whee they can be stored.


How does liquid nitrogen become liquid?

It is commonly cooled down enough so that it turns into a liquid. Sometimes, it is also stored in special high pressured containers at room temperature.


Why might valuable documents be stored in pure nitrogen instead of in air?

Air contains Oxygen, which is a necessary ingredient for fire. Nitrogen forces Oxygen away, thus preventing fire. Lack of oxygen will also slow down other forms of oxidation, reducing the yellowing of the paper.


What is geothermal energy derived from?

Geothermal energy comes from heat stored within the earth. This can involve pumping water deep into drilled holes to produce hot water or perhaps steam. This heat can be converted to other useful forms of energy to do work.


How energy is stored in the source and how energy is released?

There are a great many ways that energy can be stored or released. Photosynthesis is an important method (without which we would not have anything to eat) which stores the energy of sunlight in the form of sugar. It is then released by the process of metabolism. Electrical energy can be stored in batteries, and released through various electrical devices. Energy can be stored mechanically by tightening a spring; this used to be the main energy source for wrist watches, although now they are usually powered by batteries instead. The energy stored in a spring can then be released through the use of gears and ingenious mechanical contraptions. Energy could be stored by pumping water to a high elevation, and released by allowing the water to fall, turning a water wheel as it falls. There are many other methods as well.

Is nitrogen from amino acid breakdown stored in the liver?

Access aminp acids cannot be stored and is either broken down into nitrogen of converted to storable fats and carbohydrates by the liver. Nitrogen is highly toxic and is excreted in the urine, not stored in the liver.

Is there a useful age limit for nitrogen fertilizer?

No! Answer It must be stored dry.


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.


How do animals benefit from a plant's method of storing sugar?

For plant-eating animals the benefit is that they can get to the sugar the plant has stored.


Is the tank for compressed nitrogen the same as a tank for liquid nitrogen?

no. Compressed nitrogen need not be insulated. Liquid nitrogen is always insulated. Typically compressed nitrogen is stored at high pressure(over 1000 psi) and liquid nitrogen is kept at less than 100 psi.
