NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK

INTRODUCTION:

In this article, we discuss nitrogen its important properties, and some incidents that happened in the past with people and instruments that deal with nitrogen.

So, let's start:

LIQUID NITROGEN

INCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE TECHNICIAN OF NASA:

The First space shuttle mission was named STS-1, the first orbital mission of NASA.

This mission is uniquely described in this article due to the incident in which three technicians died due to inhalation of excess nitrogen of nitrogen.

IMPORTANCE OF NITROGEN:

Nitrogen is a crucial element in the periodic table due to many important properties. Nitrogen is a non-toxic & colorless gas that occupies 78% of the atmosphere.

HISTORY OF NITROGEN:

In the past, scientists had different opinions about this gas. For example, some scientists think it was brunt air because no combination occur in the presence of this element. Some believe it is very toxic and has no life because the environment filled with this gas causes many plants and animals to.

So, there are many different opinions about this gas but its compounds such as nitric acid which alchemists say "Aqua Fortis" or strong water have their own importance. A similar mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid forms "Aqua Regia" (royal water) which can dissolve one of the most inactive metals gold.  

ISOTOPES OF NITROGEN:

Nitrogen has two stable isotopes N-14 & N-15 but the most abundant one is N-14. These isotopes formed during the CNO cycle (Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen) in which a star uses Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen as catalysts and then reproduces due to this reaction.

The ratio of N-15 & N-14 is also very important in many fields of science. Like if some samples of river water contains more N-15 than expected, it means that water is contained THINK by human waste.

LIQUID NITROGEN AND ITS IMPORTANCE: 

Liquid Nitrogen is very important for most of its applications. But a major application in cryogenic freezing technology. Nitrogen has a liquid-gas expansion rate is about 1:694 and that why it is very dangerous to seal liquid nitrogen in tank without any pressure relief system is very dangerous.

INCIDENT OCCUR AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY:

One such incident occurs on January 12,2006 at Texas A&M University where to malfunction of the pressure relief valve caused an explosion in the tank.

IMPORTANCE COMPOUNDS OF NITROGEN: 

The compounds of nitrogen are also very important. Ammonia is very important compound of nitrogen use in the fertilizer industry and some are used in the formation of important industrial chemicals.

LIFE OF NITROGEN: 

Nitrogen is very important biological because of its major contribution in the formation of protein which plays an important role in life.

CONCLUSION:

Nitrogen is an important element of life and its importance is not just due to its contribution in the formation of life but its importance in this universe. 

This is all for this article. I hope this article is informative and you like it. Thank you!
