Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) is produced in huge industrial air separation plants, these plants compress air then quickly release the air and compress it again, this process is repeated over and over, each time the compressed air is released it gets colder (rather like the cold air you get when quickly releasing air from a balloon.) eventually the air becomes so cold it turns to liquid, and each gas (Oxygen, Nitrogen and Agron)separates out at a slightly different temperature, these are stored in cryogenic tanks (industrial vacumme flasks) and distributed to customers for all sorts of industrial, medical and food preparation uses.

Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is an element.
Who discovered liquid nitrogen?
Bob discovered liquid nitrogen.
Can liquid nitrogen gas be condensed?
Liquid nitrogen is condensed gaseous nitrogen. When a gasis condensed it is called to be in liquid state.
Why does liquid nitrogen freeze?
The temperature of the liquid nitrogen is so low that it freezes water molecules from the air which forms as ice at the opening.
Can liquid nitrogen be contaminated?
Yes. Liquid nitrogen can contain liquid oxygen, or liquid argon. These are generally removed during the manufacturing process.
How can prepare nitrogen liquid?
The liquid nitrogen is prepared by fractional distillation of liquid air.
What phase is liquid nitrogen in at room temperature?
Liquid nitrogen is liquid.
What will be the state of liquid nitrogen after boiling?
when the liquid nitrogen is boiled then it will turn into nitrogen gas.
Is liquid nitrogen an element or compound?
Liquid nitrogen is an element.
Who discovered liquid nitrogen?
Bob discovered liquid nitrogen.
Can liquid nitrogen gas be condensed?
Liquid nitrogen is condensed gaseous nitrogen. When a gasis condensed it is called to be in liquid state.
If liquid nitrogen freezes everything why is itself a liquid?
liquid nitrogen will not freeze everything. Hydrogen and helium will remain a gas when exposed to liquid nitrogen.
What is the solvent and solute in liquid nitrogen?
There is neither a solvent nor solute in liquid nitrogen as it is not a solution. Liquid nitrogen is pure elementalnitrogen in liquid form.
What is colder - liquid nitrogen or liquid heluim?
Liquid helium is a lot colder than liquid nitrogen.
Is methane soluble in liquid nitrogen?
Generally speaking, methane gas can be "soluble" in liquid nitrogen if it was bubbled into it. Liquid nitrogen is cold enough to liquefy methane gas, and the liquid methane would then be miscible in the liquid nitrogen.
Is liquid nitrogen a fluid or a solid?
liquid nitrogen is probably a fluid.
What if liquid nitrogen was poured on the floor?
Liquid nitrogen is quickly evaporated.
