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.

Compressed air or compressed nitrogen.


Can nitrogen be compressed?

Yes, nitrogen can be compressed under high pressure. When compressed, nitrogen gas can be stored in cylinders or tanks for various industrial applications such as in manufacturing processes or for use as a refrigerant.


Is compressed air used for inflating tires?

probably they wont use compressed gas in tyres. they use only normal air or nitrogen gas


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.


What are the hazards of nitrogen gas?

Nitrogen gas is inert and non-toxic at normal levels. However, in high concentrations, nitrogen gas can cause asphyxiation by displacing oxygen in enclosed spaces. Additionally, rapid release of compressed nitrogen can cause injury due to the force of the gas.


Why unclog gas line with nitrogen and not compressed air?

Nitrogen is preferred for unclogging gas lines because it is an inert gas that poses less risk of combustion compared to compressed air, which contains oxygen and can create a fire hazard in a gas line. Nitrogen is also less likely to react with the substances in the gas line, ensuring a more effective and safe unclogging process.

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 divers use gas?

Some diver use nitrogen to stay underwater for longer but usually compressed air is usedfor those who don't use nitrogen


Can nitrogen be used as an energy source?

In the manner of compressed gas, yes. Many food products use nitrogen as the propellant (canned whipped cream, for example).
