∙ 11y agoBoth nitrogen and oxygen exist at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules. Therefore, the relative masses of equal numbers of molecules of the substance will the same as the ratios of their atomic masses, which are 15.9994 for oxygen and 14.0067 for nitrogen. The mass of oxygen that contains the same number of molecules as 42 g of nitrogen is 42(15.9994/14.0067) or 48 g, to the justified number of significant digits.
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
The formation of Ammonia by Haber's process is a reversible process, one volume of nitrogen reacts with three volumes of hydrogen and form two volumes of Ammonia, N2 + 3H2 = 3NH3 , According to Le-Chatlier's principle the increase in pressure brings the molecules of nitrogen and hydrogen closer to each other and shifts the reaction towards formation of ammonia, so higher pressure is responsible for higher yield of ammonia.
About 78 % (or about 11.7 psi).
If the total (=atmospheric) gas pressure is 760 mm Hg, then the remaining partial pressure of 760 - (630 + 39) = 91 mm of Hg is for the 3rd gas in blood: Oxygen (O2)
Nitrogen in any pure form is an element, not a compound. However, at standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists predominantly as divalent molecules.
At standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen contains two atoms per molecule. Therefore 9 molecules contain 18 atoms.
At standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists in molecules with two atoms each.
Nitrogen is usually quite unreactive at both standard pressure and standard temperature. Nitrogen is relatively unreactive because nitrogen molecules are joined together by triple bonds, and these bonds are some of the strongest bonds that can exist between molecules.

If by "normally" you mean room temperature, nitrogen exists as a gas. It actually comprises a majority of the air we breath. The reason nitrogen becomes a liquid when it is compressed is because when pressure increases, the volume decreases, so the nitrogen molecules fit closer together, making a liquid (this is because the same amount of gas takes up much more space than in liquid form). This relationship between pressure and volume is one of the Gas Laws, which is basically the equation P1V1 = P2V2, where P is pressure, V is volume, 1 denotes conditions prior to a change, and 2 denotes conditions after change in either pressure or volume to a gas. Normally, molecules are alwasys moving, so, when nitrogen is cooled and the temperature decreases, the molecules slow down. As they slow, the molecules are hitting the walls of their container less frequently, creating lower pressure inside the container. As we already know, lower pressure causes molecules to bunch together, bringing a gas to liquid phase. This is why liquid nitrogen is usually sold in thick metal containers--the container walls must be strong since the pressure inside is so high.
Gaseous N2 molecules, because it exists in diatomic form at 1 atm of pressure and 25ºC

The chemical symbol of a nitrogen atom is "N", but at standard temperature and pressure, nitrogen exists primarily as diatomic molecules with the formula N2. Note that all molecules, even those containing only a single type of atom, have formulas rather than symbols, which are properties of atoms or of elements regarded as abstractions only.
With the conditions of temperature and pressure found on the Earth hydrogen and oxygen in their free state are gas molecules consisting of two atoms. But nitrogen gas can also be found in this form.
At sufficiently high temperatures and low pressures, all elements are composed of atoms. At standard temperature and pressure, some elements are composed of molecules, usually diatomic molecules, as with nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and all the halogens.
