Description
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 (-83.1 °C). The boiling point of Nitrogen is 75 K (-198.1 °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.
Sources
You can collect Nitrogen from the following sources:
| Source | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ice (Nitrice) | 22.5 mol |
| Ice (Water) | 5 mol |
| Ice (Oxite) | 2.5 mol |
| Lead Ore | 1 mol |
| Silicon Ore | 1 mol |
| Nickel Ore | 0.5 mol |
| Gold Ore | 0.5 mol |
| Copper Ore | 0.5 mol |
| Silver Ore | 0.4 mol |
