By fractional distillation. Allow liquid air to get less cold. At around 77.4K, nitrogen will boil off while oxygen will remain liquid. The temperature will begin to rise again when all the nitrogen has boiled off.

Why is liquid nitrogen used in beer cans over liquid oxygen?

The answer is, liquid nitrogen ISN'T used in beer cans. Nitrogen GAS is. And the reason nitrogen gas is used in beer cans is to emulate draft beer such as one would get out of a keg(as opposed to cask) beer.


Could distillation be used to separate air into oxygen nitrogen argon etc?

Yes, distillation can separate air into its components such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. This process is known as cryogenic distillation and involves cooling the air to very low temperatures to liquefy the different components, which can then be separated based on their boiling points.


Can you make Pykrete by freezing the water and sawdust mixture with liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is very expensive for this task.


What property could separate the gases in air?

Air is made up of 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen. The boiling points of these elements are different: oxygen's boiling point is minus 297 degrees Fahrenheit and nitrogen's is minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit


Is nitrogen liquid or gas?

In the atmosphere it is a gas, in the soil it its a solid, nitrogen gas can be converted to liquid in air separation plants. Also, as a liquid Nitrogen is very cold -- cryogenic temperatures. Nitrogen is stored as liquid commonly for convenience, even when gas is required, because liquid is more dense than gas and more nitrogen could be stored in the same volume. Simply, the answer to your question is nitrogen is a solid, liquid and gas depending on where you find it or how you've modified it.


What happens as a liquid freezes?

Impossible. Boiling is when a liquid turns into a gas, freezing is when it turns into a solid. Obviously, the same molecules cannot be a gas and a solid at the same time. Mixtures of a liquid and a suspended solid might appear to "freeze" when boiled because they thicken when the liquid boils away, but this is not true freezing.

Could a country like Iran use liquid nitrogen for weapons purposes?

Perhaps in a roundabout way. Gas centrifuges need to be cooled as they are spun to separate different isotopes of uranium from one another, and liquid nitrogen could be used to cool the centrifuges. But we track other things to determine whether or not Iran or another country is making weapons, particularly if they are weapons of mass destruction.


Could distillation be used to separate air and oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide argon and so forth explain?

Each constituent of air has its specific boiling point temperature, so that liquid air can be separated into its constituents by distillation in the same manner as any mixture of two or more liquids with different boiling points.


What element will comprise earth's atmosphere hydrogen oxygen or nitrogen?

compromise? Hydrogen, if you could find enough to convert the oxygen into water. If you mean comprise then its 79 % nitrogen, 21 & oxygen, and 1% argon


Could you survive in the stratosphere?

No, as there is no oxygen, nor nitrogen, nor carbon dioxide.


Is it possible to condense oxygen from air?

yes oxygen is a liquid at -183 celsius and a solid at -220 celsius,liquid oxygen is blue in colour and is very dangerous,unless your trained how to handle it id suggest getting out of the room its in
