Nitrogen has a normal boiling point of 77.4 K and a melting point (at 1 atm) of 63.2 K. Its critical temperature is 126.2 K, and its critical pressure is 2.55 * 104 torr. It has a triple point at 63.1 K and 94.0 torr.
<h3>What is the triple point?</h3>
The temperature and pressure at which the solid, liquid, and vapour phases of a pure substance can coexist in equilibrium.
- Normal melting point: 63.2 K.
- Normal boiling point: 77.4 K.
- Triple point: 0.127 atm and 63.1 K.
- Critical point: 33.5 atm and 126.0 K.
In such a way:
- N2 does not exist as a liquid at pressures below 0.127 atm: that is because below this point, solid N2 exists only (triple point).
- N2 is a solid at 16.7 atm and 56.5 K: that is because it is above the triple point, below the critical point and below the normal melting point.
- N2 is a liquid at 1.00 atm and 73.9 K: that is because it is above the triple point, below the critical point and below the normal boiling point.
- N2 is a gas at 0.127 atm and 84.0 K: that is because it is above the triple point temperature at the triple point pressure.
