Liquid nitrogen will absorb energy from the surroundings and will boil. So the reaction is endothermic.

At what temperature will nitrogen become a liquid?

The temperature at which nitrogen becomes a liquid is 77 Kelvin (-196°C, or -321°F).


How do you calculate liquid to gas expansion ratio of nitrogen?

Ok. there's a fixed ratio for Nitrogen as it expands from liquid to gas. From liquid, it expands 696 times from its boiling point at atmospheric pressure.


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.


Liquid nitrogen boils at -196C is a chemical or physical change?

The boiling rate of a substance is a physical property.


Is boiling nitrogen in a laboratory a physical or chemical change?

Compression of nitrogen or any gas does not alter the chemical property...only changes involve in physical properties... On compression the gas molecules are come into more close..so it is pressurized..not change its chemical property...and whenever chances is come it s expand ..

What is the difference between the boiling points of water and liquid nitrogen?

The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is -195.8°C and the boiling point of water is 100°C. Therefore, that's a difference of 295.8°C.


Does nitrogen change from a liquid to a gas at the same temperature at which water changes from liquids to a gas?

No it can not, their boiling points are vastly different.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, yes but the change will be explosive.If you poured liquid nitrogen into boiling water, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.If you poured boiling water into liquid nitrogen, all the liquid nitrogen would become gas and spray the remaining liquid boiling water in all directions.Please don't try this, you will be severely injured!!!!!!
