Liquid nitrogen, a colourless fluid resembling water in appearance, but with 80.8% of the density (the density of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point is 0.808 g/mL), is a common cryogen. [50] Solid nitrogen has many crystalline modifications.
Nitrogen frost has a density of 0.85 g cm −3. [49] As a bulk material the crystals are pressed together and density is near that of water. It is temperature dependent and given by ρ = 0.0134T 2 − 0.6981T + 1038.1 kg/m 3. [48] The volume coefficient of expansion is given by 2×10 −6 T 2 − 0.0002T + 0.006 K −1. [48]
T is the absolute temperature; R is the gas constant, which must be expressed in units consistent with those chosen for pressure, volume and temperature. For example, in SI units R = 8.3145 J⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1 when pressure is expressed in pascals, volume in cubic meters, and absolute temperature in kelvin.
For real gasses, the molecules do interact via attraction or repulsion depending on temperature and pressure, and heating or cooling does occur. This is known as the Joule–Thomson effect. For reference, the Joule–Thomson coefficient μ JT for air at room temperature and sea level is 0.22 °C/bar. [7]
When the mean free path of the molecules in the gas is larger than or equal to the ... ratio of density and pressure For nitrogen (or air) at room temperature, ...
Overview of the temperature and pressure dependence of the compressibility factor for N 2. The figure on the right shows an overview covering a wide temperature range. At low temperature (100 K), the curve has a characteristic check-mark shape, the rising portion of the curve is very nearly directly proportional to pressure.
The ideal gas equation can be rearranged to give an expression for the molar volume of an ideal gas: = = Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is based on the gas constant: R = 8.314 462 618 153 24 m 3 ⋅Pa⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1, or about 8.205 736 608 095 96 × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅atm⋅K ...
Liquid nitrogen is a compact and readily transported source of dry nitrogen gas, as it does not require pressurization. Further, its ability to maintain temperatures far below the freezing point of water, specific heat of 1040 J ⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1 and heat of vaporization of 200 kJ⋅kg −1 makes it extremely useful in a wide range of ...
