Question

Liquid nitrogen is cold and can be used to cool objects to -196°C. If you put the bottle of warm air in liquid nitrogen at this temperature, what would the volume (mL) of air in the bottle be?

Answer 1

Answer:

It will boil.

Literally, every liquid has a boiling point, unless it chemically decomposes before it gets to that point (which liquid nitrogen certainly doesn't). At normal atmospheric pressure, it can be 'heated' to -196 C. At that point, any heat you put into it will go into boiling liquid nitrogen into nitrogen gas. At higher pressures, the same thing will happen at a higher temperature. Once all the liquid is boiled, the gas will continue to rise in temperature as long as heat is being added.
