The temperature of boiling nitrogen is 195.8 K lower than the temperature of freezing water. Selected basis: approximate values.
Celsius and Fahrenheit zero points are offsets. Compare temperature differences, not ratios in °C or °F. The kelvin axis starts at absolute zero.
77.36 K - Temperature; approximate.
Boiling nitrogen is nitrogen gas produced when liquid nitrogen is heated at normal atmospheric pressure.
Approximate normal boiling point at one atmosphere.
NIST Chemistry WebBook — Nitrogen phase data0 °C - Temperature; defined reference.
Freezing water is liquid water at the temperature where it begins to turn into ice under normal pressure.
Fresh water at about one atmosphere. Dissolved substances and pressure change its freezing point.
