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 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.


Does liquid nitrogen radiate heat?

Generally, no. Liquid nitrogen is "too cold" normally to radiate heat, at least compared to surrounding things. Nitrogen liquifies at extremely low temperature, and because it is so cold, it is surrounded by stuff that is a lot warmer. It is generally a heat absorber. There are circumstances where liquid nitrogen will radiate heat. If we conduct an experiment where we cool liquid nitrogen with liquid helium, the liquid nitrogen will radiate heat. And it will become a solid, giving us solid nitrogen (because it changed its state of matter by "freezing" and becoming a solid).


How does liquid nitrogen react with chlorine?

When liquid nitrogen is exposed to chlorine gas, a violent reaction can occur, leading to the formation of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3). This compound is highly unstable and can explode upon contact with organic materials or light. Extreme caution should be taken when combining these two substances.


What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?

when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.

Why does the water bottle containing liquid nitrogen explode?

Liquid Nitrogen in a water bottle will explode because of pressure build up. Liquid nitrogen vaporizes rather quickly and when it transitions from liquid to gas, the pressure increases if kept at the same volume. Think of boiling water in a closed container. It is similar to that but liquid nitrogen evaporates at much lower temperature, it will explode at room temperature. Let's say you submerged this water bottle below the boiling point of liquid nitrogen and put liquid nitrogen in the bottle, the bottle will not explode. It is a mechanical explosion (simple transfer of forces) not a chemical explosion like with hydrogen where hydrogen gas ignites.


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.


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.

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

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

Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?

Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.


If you throw a fragile container filled with cold liquid nitrogen will it shatter and explode or freeze the surrounding area?

it would probablyexplode, because of the buildup

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.

when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
