A 2.0 liter container of nitrogen had a pressure of 3.2 ATM what volume would be necessary to decrease the pressure to 1.0atm?

Two liters divided by 3.2 ATM => 0.625 liters / 1 ATM >> ought to do it.

Nitrogen can be compresed and cooled into a liquid at a very low temperature So nitrogen normally exist as awhat?
If by "normally" you mean room temperature, nitrogen exists as a gas. It actually comprises a majority of the air we breath. The reason nitrogen becomes a liquid when it is compressed is because when pressure increases, the volume decreases, so the nitrogen molecules fit closer together, making a liquid (this is because the same amount of gas takes up much more space than in liquid form). This relationship between pressure and volume is one of the Gas Laws, which is basically the equation P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure, V is volume, 1 denotes conditions prior to a change, and 2 denotes conditions after change in either pressure or volume to a gas. Normally, molecules are alwasys moving, so, when nitrogen is cooled and the temperature decreases, the molecules slow down. As they slow, the molecules are hitting the walls of their container less frequently, creating lower pressure inside the container. As we already know, lower pressure causes molecules to bunch together, bringing a gas to liquid phase. This is why liquid nitrogen is usually sold in thick metal containers--the container walls must be strong since the pressure inside is so high.
Why is pressure and density important when giving the density of oxygen and nitrogen?

A barometer shows the atmospheric pressure to be 762 mm Hg What is the partial pressure of nitrogen if nitrogen is 78 percent of the air?
594.36
Is Nitrogen is a solid at room temperature and pressure?
Liquid nitrogen can be kept at room temperature at sufficient pressure. Otherwise, it is a gas.
Is nitrogen a compressed gas?
Nitrogen is a gas that can be compressed. Not all nitrogen is compressed, for example the nitrogen in the air we breath is at atmospheric pressure.
What will cause a decrease in pressure in a closed container?
A decrease will occur if the lid of the container is opened.
What will cause a decrease in a gas pressure in closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
What is the pressure inside of a container when nitrogen gas is added?
The pressure inside of a container when nitrogen gas is added depends on:what the pressure was before the gas was addedhow big the container ishow much nitrogen gas is addedthe temperature of the gas before it is addedthe temperature of the container and its contents
What would happen to the pressure if you cooled down the container?
The pressure inside the container would decrease.
What would cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Lowering the temperature will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container.
Why it is necessary to decrease the pressure in discharge tube to get cathode rays?
why it is necessary to decrease the pressure in the discharge tubbe to get cathode rays
What happens to the pressure of a gas if you decrease the size of a container?
The pressure would increase.
What will cause a a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
Either decrease the amount of gas, or decrease the temperature.
What will happen to the pressure inside the container if the volume of a container of gas is reduced?
The pressure inside the container will increase. Pressure (P) is force(F) divided by the area(A) it hits on. If you decrease the area, you increase the pressure.
When nitrogen gas is added to a sample of neon gas in a closed container the pressure inside the container?
increases
What will be the result if you increase the pressure on one liter of nitrogen?
If you increase pressure on one liter of nitrogen the volume occupied by that liter of gas will decrease.
