Nitrogen

Description

"Nitrogen can be mixed with Oxygen to stabilize its flammability and avoid Oxygen toxicity, and is a resource in its own right, useful for creating, a breathable atmosphere (at roughly 3

Nitrogen and Oxygen). The most efficient source of Nitrogen is from Ice (Nitrice) deposites found around the Solar System. You can Condense Nitrogen into Liquid Nitrogen by lowering its temperature below its boiling point." — Stationpedia

Nitrogen, also referred to as N₂, is an inert gas most often used in the creation of air.

Details

Nitrogen will condense into Liquid Nitrogen starting at 190 K / -83.15 °C. The boiling point of Nitrogen is 75 K / -198.15 °C at 100 kPa.

Due to its high molar density, low heat capacity, and generally inert nature, Nitrogen is an excellent pressure agent for condensing other gases into liquids and keeping water from evaporating passively.

Soybeans require Nitrogen to grow, but they will still exhale Oxygen.

Nitrogen is used in the creation of Nitrous Oxide when combined with Oxygen in a Nitrolyzer.
