Best Answer

Be cause its boiling point is very very low and boils at 77.35 K (-195,8 °C)

It certainly does require heat, but since its boiling point is far below the usual ambient temperature, it gets enough heat from the surroundings.

yes. It would cause liquid helium to boil if you mixed them.


What affects heat has on liquid?

If you add enough heat to any liquid it will eventually boil and convert to a gas.

Yes, nitrogen does infact explode


What do you remove from nitrogen in order for it to be liquid nitrogen?

You remove heat. Nitrogen must be cooled to -196 degrees Celsius to become a liquid.


What happens when liquid is supplied with heat?

How does heat travel from a solid to a liquid?

heat doesnt travel from a solid to a liquid. a solid is heated up and turned into a liquid.


Can nitrogen used as a fuel in cars?

Yes , it can be. A living example is a Liquid Nitrogen Vehicle.A liquid nitrogen vehicle is powered by liquid nitrogen, which is stored in a tank. Traditional nitrogen engine designs work by heating the liquid nitrogen in a heat exchanger, extracting heat from the ambient air and using the resulting pressurized gas to operate a piston or rotary engine. Vehicles propelled by liquid nitrogen have been demonstrated, but are not used commercially.


Does cotton boil?

Actually, you can boil liquids, and cotton is not a liquid. If you apply heat to cotton, it would burn before it would boil.


If you add amounts of heat to a liquid what could happen?

The liquid may boil and become a gas.


What happens if you add a large amount of heat to a liquid?

The liquid may boil and become a gas.


How does cryogenic engine work?

The cryogenic engine gets its name from the extremely cold temperature at which liquid nitrogen is stored. Air moving around the vehicle is used to heat liquid nitrogen to a boil. Once it boils, it turns to gas in the same way that heated water forms steam in a steam engine. A rocket like the Ariane 5 uses oxygen and hydrogen, both stored as a cryogenic liquid, to produce its power. The liquid nitrogen, stored at -320 degrees Fahrenheit, is vaporized by the heat exchanger. Nitrogen gas formed in the heat exchanger expands to about 700 times the volume of its liquid form. This highly pressurised gas is then fed to the expander, where the force of the nitrogen gas is converted into mechanical power.


What happens to liquid water when you add heat?

When you add heat to liquid water it gets warm. If it gets warm enough it will boil and evaporate.
