put it inside an eppendorf tube and throw in liquid nitrogen. of course it depends what you are planning to do in next step. you can use a mortar and pestle if you want to grind.

Can liquid nitrogen be used as a fertilizer for agriculture?

No. Firstly liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of 77K. That's -196degrees Celsius, which will freeze all water in contact with it. Not only will the roots not be able to take up water from the soil, water within the plant cells will also freeze, damaging the roots. Secondly, liquid nitrogen will vaporize rapidly when exposed to the environment, which is at room temperature. This means that when liquid nitrogen is poured into the soil, it is not different from the plant absorbing nitrogen in the form of gaseous nitrogen. Thirdly, nitrogen uptake is best facilitated in the aqueous form, ie. dissolved in water in the form of nitrate or ammonium ions. Liquid nitrogen/gaseous nitrogen do not dissolve very well in water.


How do you dry essential oil using liquid nitrogen?

An essential oil is a concentrated, hydrophobic liquid containing volatile compounds from plants or artificially manufactured to replicate such compounds.http://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Plant Essential oils are also known as simply as the "oil of" the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove. An "essential oil" is "essential" in the sense that it carries a distinctive scent, or essence, of the plant. Essential oils do not as a group need to have any specific chemical properties in common, beyond conveying characteristic fragrances.Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation although they may also be recovered through expression or solvent extraction.Since they are fairly volatile, they usually have a lower freezing point than water. As such, they can be effectively dried by treating with liquid nitrogen and straining out the frozen water.It can also be used in a reflux with the oil where the heavier materials including solids and water will remain at the bottom and the volatile oils and nitrogen vapor come out the top. Since nitrogen is far more volatile than the essential oils, it is fairly easy to flash the vapor to condense the oils and draw off the remaining nitrogen as a (very cold) nearly pure gas.


How nitrogen in soil is detected?

All soil contains nitrogen - it is a matter of how much. The relative amount of nitrogen in soil can be determined with as small soil sample and a reagent for nitrogen from a soil test kit (simple soil test kits are sold in every garden center). The results do not tell you the "amount" of nitrogen in the soil, only if there is enough for healthy plant growth, or if the amount of nitrogen is too poor for healthy plant growth


A sample from a commercial mixture containing elements 7 15 and 19?

The sample likely contains elements nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium since their atomic numbers are 7, 15, and 19 respectively. These elements are commonly found in commercial fertilizers to promote plant growth.


Why is liquid nitrogen used in agrobacterium transformation?

Liquid nitrogen is used in agrobacterium transformation to create small, transient pores in plant cells through a process called cryoporation. These pores allow the agrobacterium to deliver DNA to the plant cell more efficiently, increasing the success rate of genetic transformation. Liquid nitrogen also helps in maintaining a low temperature environment, which is necessary for cell survival during the transformation process.

Why do people put nitrogen in plant fertilizer?

Where does nitrogen from atmosphere go before it enters a plant?

The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.


Is the clove plant a nitrogen fixer?

No, the clove plant is not a nitrogen fixer. Nitrogen-fixing plants have specialized root nodules containing bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by the plant. Clove plants do not have this ability.
