 2) A student is working with liquid nitrogen in a laboratory

2) A student is working with liquid nitrogen in a laboratory which is 5 * 3 * 2 m in size. The dewar contains 10 L of liquid nitrogen. While working, the student accidentally spills the dewar, you can assume this causes all of the liquid nitrogen to evaporate. The temperature in the lab is 22 C, and it is at atmospheric pressure. a) What is the concentration of oxygen (in % (v/v)) in the room after the dewar was spilled? You can assume that the pressure and volume of the room is constant, and that the nitrogen displaces air from the room. b) What does your answer from part (a) tell you about the dangers of working with liquid nitrogen?
