How come nitrogen can stay so cold in all temperatures? I guess it’s not cold when compressed inside the bottle, rather a reaction when turning to gas? But where does the energy from the “room temperature” go?
In: Chemistry
Question: I don’t know what you mean. The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen and that’s all “room temperature”, relative to where its at. No molecule has an inherit temperature.
EDIT: Radioactive molecules may increase the temperature of things around them, but any stable molecule doesn’t hold onto any certain temperature.
