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!!!!!!

What happens when the push button on an aerosol spray can is pressed?

When the push button on an aerosol spray can is pressed, it activates a mechanism that releases compressed air or gas from the can, which in turn propels the product (such as paint, deodorant, or insect repellent) out through the nozzle as a fine mist or spray. This quick release of pressure allows the product inside the can to be dispensed easily and evenly.


What are examples of liquid aerosol?

As stated elsewhere on this site, an aerosol is a suspension of particles within a gas. A good example of a aerosol is smog, cigarette fumes or any type of dust cloud.

How does aerosol cans contain a liquid but spray a gas?

The propellant, coupled with the special spray nozzle, spreads a small amount of liquid throughout a much larger amount of the gas also contained in the can. The can is spraying both liquid AND gas.
