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, nitrogen can be compressed to a liquid state under high pressure and low temperature conditions. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in various applications such as cryogenics, food freezing, and medical procedures.


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.


Is nitrogen in a diving tank a solid liquid gas or plasma?

Nitrogen in a diving tank is in a gas state. When compressed into the tank, it remains in a gaseous form until it is released and breathed in by a diver.


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.

What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?

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


Why a liquid can not be compressed?

It can.


What phase is liquid nitrogen in at room temperature?

Liquid nitrogen is liquid.


Is the compressed liquid has the same meaning to saturated liquid?

No - compressed liquid is at a pressure above the boiling point pressure of the liquid. A saturated liquid is right at that boiling point. If you try to drop the pressure on a saturated liquid, it will begin to boil. If you start dropping the pressue on a compressed liquid, it will remail a stable liquid unit you have dropped it to the saturation pressure.


Which can get compressed the most a solid and liquid or gas?

A gas can be compressed the most out of solid, liquid, and gas because its particles are more spread out and have more space between them, allowing them to be compressed further. Liquid can be compressed slightly, while solids are generally considered to be incompressible.


Is a natural gas a solid liquid or gas?

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.
