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.

When water is a liquid what is the physical state of nitrogen?

When water is a liquid, nitrogen is in a gaseous state. Nitrogen has a boiling point of -196°C, much lower than the freezing point of water, so it will be gaseous at room temperature when water is in a liquid state.


What is the hometown of argon?

Argon is a noble gas and does not have a hometown as it is an element found in the Earth's atmosphere. It is commonly produced as a byproduct of the production of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.


Are air water and steam all liquids?

Air is primarily composed of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, so it is not a liquid. Water can exist in three states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam). Steam is the gaseous form of water, not a liquid.


Can liquid nitrogen freeze the wind?

No. The wind is composed of a small amount of water vapor and about 20% oxygen and about 80% nitrogen. The water vapor may freeze but the oxygen and the nitrogen cannot freeze at the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Oxygen has a much lower freezing point than liquid nitrogen and if the nitrogen were to be frozen, liquid nitrogen is not cold enough to freeze it...sort of like trying to make ice using cold water.


What does liquid nitrogen look like?

At room temperature it is a colourless gas with no smell. Below minus 196 degrees C (its boiling point), it is a colourless liquid. It will not burn nor support burning, and will only react with other elements with difficulty. Pretty boring really! Look at the air you're breathing in right now. That's what nitrogen looks like, in its gaseous state. Nitrogen makes up almost 4/5 of the air we're breathing in. There's much less oxygen in regular atmospheric air than nitrogen. In liquid form, nitrogen is a clear liquid, much like water. This form of nitrogen is used for cryogenic purposes (freezing), and other applications, such as fighting T-1000 model Terminators.

What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?

when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.


How do you separate nitrogen gas from a mixture of nitrogen gas and liquid nitrogen?

You can separate nitrogen gas from liquid nitrogen by allowing the liquid nitrogen to evaporate at room temperature or by heating it to increase the rate of evaporation. The nitrogen gas will separate from the liquid nitrogen as it evaporates, leaving behind the liquid nitrogen.

Can liquid nitrogen gas be condensed?

Yes, liquid nitrogen gas can be condensed to form liquid nitrogen. This is done by lowering the temperature of the gas to its boiling point (-196°C) or below, causing it to condense into a liquid state. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used in various applications such as cryogenic freezing and cooling.
