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.

What happens to nitrogen liquid when heated?

When nitrogen liquid is heated, it will turn into gaseous nitrogen. As the temperature rises, the nitrogen molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and escape into the gaseous phase.


What does bring to a boil mean?

Usually this is referring to water or a similar liquid. Bring to a boil basically means you heat it on the stove until it boils. You can tell that it's boiling once the water is bubbling. Once it is boiling you have "brought it to a boil"


What two factors determine the point at which a liquid will boil?

Heat or energy applied and atmosphereic pressuresPressure and temperature (apex)


What is the best insulator of heat nitrogen or alcohol?

Nitrogen is a better insulator of heat compared to alcohol. This is because nitrogen is a gas and has lower thermal conductivity than alcohol, which is a liquid. Nitrogen can create a barrier that inhibits heat transfer more effectively than alcohol.


How long does it take thick liquid to boil?

It depends on the liquid, water is 100 Celsius. --------------- Everything is a little confused here. Solids are not liquids. If you are asking about time, you would have numerous additional factors to consider. The substance The boiling point. The starting temperature Quantity of the substance Amount of heat being applied, and even the maximum amount of heat that your heat source is capable of applying. Perhaps also insulation. An electric arc might be able to essentially vaporize a small amount of metal almost instantly. Consider an ancient flash bulb, or what happens when you connect too much power to an automobile fuse. Likewise, it takes very little effort to make liquid nitrogen boil.

Liquid nitrogen is -320 degrees does it have heat energy?

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.


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.


How long would it take a 55 gallon drum of liquid to boil?

The time it takes to boil a 55-gallon drum of liquid depends on the heat source and the starting temperature of the liquid. It could take several hours to bring that amount of liquid to a boil using a standard heating element.


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.


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.


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.


What phase change from liquid to gas will take place if you add energy equal to the heat of vaporization?

The liquid will boil.


What happens to nitrogen liquid when heated?
