Why is it an advantage to transport nitrogen as a liquid rather than as a compressed gas?

The key to storing nitrogen as a liquid is that we need to compress and cool the nitrogen to cause it to change state from a gas to a liquid. By doing this, we can store a lot of nitrogen in a small volume compared to trying to store it as a gas.

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.
Can nitrogen be compressed to a liquid?
Yes, when cooled down below triple point
How do you turn nitrogen from a gas to a liquid?
in general you need to two things: But Liquid Nitrogen is not made this way. 1st it needs to be cooled very cold. Then it needs to be compressed. The proccess usually does this both at the same time, Cooled Nitrogen is run through a compressor and then cooled agian, and then super cooled to create Liquid. It is produced using a proccess called fractional distilation of air resulting in Liquid Oxegen and Liquid Nitrogen.
Why is better to transport propane in liquids and not in gas?
When a gas is compressed to a liquid, it takes up a lot less space. This makes it easier to package in a container and cheaper to transport.
How do you separate nitrogen from the air?
By cooling and pressing air and then expanding it you can separate liquid nitrogen from air.AnswerThe air must be repeatedly cooled and compressed until it liquefies. The liquid air is then fractionated (allowed to evaporate under controlled conditions) so that each component (oxygen, nitrogen, argon) is released as a pure stream. The Nitrogen stream is collected and re-cooled to be a liquid for storage and handling as the volume of the liquid is much less than the gaseous nitrogen.

Advantages and disadvantages of nitrogen?
It is more simple to transport liquid nitrogen compared to gaseous nitrogen.
Why a liquid can not be compressed?
It can.
What phase is liquid nitrogen in at room temperature?
Liquid nitrogen is liquid.
Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?
A gas can be compressed more than a liquid and a solid.
Is natural gas a liquid gas or solid?
Natural gas in its normal form is a gas. When natural gas is cooled to a temperature of -162 degrees C, it is compressed into a liquid is is 1/600th its original size. Liquefied natural gas is much easier to transport then compressed natural gas.
