Nitrogen Solid At Room Temperature

Because liquid nitrogen in a usual setting is boiling its usual temperature is 77 k.

Nitrogen solid at room temperature.

At room temperature and high pressure δ nitrogen is ordered in its molecular orientation. The earth s atmosphere is made up of 78 nitrogen. Nitrogen has a low melting and boiling point and is a gas at room temperature. Specific weight is given as n m 3 and lb f ft 3.

Nitrogen triiodide ni 3 is still more unstable and was only prepared in 1990. Above the pressure of 2 gpa there is the lower temperature rhombohedral phase ε n 2 and above 80 k cubic δ n 2. The next most common gas is oxygen at 21. Nitrogen tribromide nbr 3 first prepared in 1975 is a deep red temperature sensitive volatile solid that is explosive even at 100 c.

Solid nitrogen is the solid form of the element nitrogen. Below 63 k it freezes into solid nitrogen. The calculator below can be used to estimate the density and specific weight of gaseous nitrogen at given temperature and pressure. Over this temperature range liquid nitrogen looks much like boiling water.

Liquid nitrogen is very cold.
