What is Nitrogens boiling point in Celsius?
-186 degrees Celsius
Nitrogen gas composes about 77% of the air that we breathe – liquid nitrogen is just the nitrogen taken from the air under pressure to put it in its liquid state. The boiling point of nitrogen is -186 degrees Celsius, meaning that it is very, very cold as a liquid and is boiling at room temperature.
Why melting and boiling point of nitrogen is low?
Because the weak intermolecular forces break down easily these substances have low melting andboiling points.
What is the melting point of nitrogen in Kelvin?
Periodic Table of the Elements
| Name | Weight | Melting Point |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen | 14.0067 | 63.15 Kelvin |
| Oxygen | 15.9994 | 54.8 Kelvin |
| Fluorine | 18.9984 | 53.55 Kelvin |
| Neon | 20.1797 | 24.55 Kelvin |
Can we drink nitrogen?
Safety concerns. Because of its low temperature liquid nitrogen can be extremely damaging to body tissue, causing frostbite and cryogenic burning on contact. If ingested it can lead to severe internal damage, destroying tissue in the mouth and digestive tract.
