Nitrogen is an unreactive gas, easy to obtain and at reasonable cost.
It is not used as an inert gas, but in lieu of an inert gas, of which there are only 6, it is sufficient and cost effective.

∙ 13y agoan inert gas has no polarity and the liquids you are examining have a polarity. the liquids you are examining are boiled and then propelled through a polar medium. so the liquid is separated based on boiling point and polarity. The inert gas wont be collected because its a gas at room temperature

∙ 14y agoNitrogen gas is cheaper than other "inert" gasses. Nitrogen is "more inert" or less reactive than most gasses, and it is cheap.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoinert gases are used because they provide inert atmosphere i.e they do not react with the sample in the column.

∙ 11y agoThe strength of the nitrogen-nitrogen triple bond makes the N2 molecule very unreactive. N2 is so inert that lithium is one of the few elements with which it reacts at room temperature.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoDue to its high bond ionisation enthalpy, the N2 molecule is difficult to break in the moderately extreme conditions, so it acts like an inert gas.

What is the elemental form of nitrogen?
In the atmosphere nitrogen takes the form of the diatomic nitrogen molecule, N2.
Is oxygen inert?
no oxygen is not a inert gas
Symbol for nitrogen gas?
N2
Inert gas having 8 valence electrons?
mercury is an inert gas having 8 valence electrons
The most common gas in our atmosphere is?
The atmosphere is primarily composed of Nitrogen (N2), which accounts for 78%. Oxygen follows, accounting for 20% of its volume, with argon less than 1%. The remainder is composed of particulates and trace gases, including water vapor.
What gas is in the air but dont react much?
Nitrogen, N2, (about 79% in air) is a rather inert gas.
What are the three inert elements of the periodic table?
Gold is an inert metal, Helium, Argon, and the other nobel gases are inert. Nitrogen gas (N2) is considered inert for most purposes, though nitrogen is found in a lot of compound.
How many elements are inert gases?
Six noble gases (group 18), and Nitrogen (N2) gas are all inert. They are all different elements, so: 7
What happens if you replace inert gas in glass bulb of electric lamb by nitrogen gas?
inert gas inert gas inert gas
Is inert gas a family on the periodic table?
Yes, inert gases are part of the peiodic table. List of Inert Gases Helium (He) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) Radon (Rn) Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) Nitrogen (N2)
The 2 most abundant gases in the atmosphere are what?
Nitrogen gas(N2) which contains 78% of atmosphere and Oxygen gas(O2) which contains 21% of atmosphere and the remaining portion is Carbon(iv)oxide and inert gas.
Is argon an inert gas?
argon is an inert gas
What is the reactivity nitrogen?
Firstly, N2 is treated sometimes as an inert gas as it is used to create an inert atmosphere so that no reactions take place. But nitrogen has many compounds as it is more chemically reactive than helium or any other inert gases. Its compounds: e.g. Ammonia, Nitric Acid etc. More on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen
What is inert argon gas?
All argon gas is inert.
What is the elemental form of nitrogen?
In the atmosphere nitrogen takes the form of the diatomic nitrogen molecule, N2.
What is the density of INERT gas?
That depends on what inert gas you're taling about.
Is oxygen inert?
no oxygen is not a inert gas
