Question: ( b ) Nitrogen ( N 2 ( ( g ) ) ) costs $ 1 2 . 7 4 per 1 0 0 standard

(b) Nitrogen (N2((g))) costs $12.74 per 100 standard cubic foot (SCF)(measured at 1atm and 60F(15.5C)). Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) costs $14.27 per litre. The specific gravity of LN2 is 0.808. Compare the costs of N2(g) and LNN2 on a $ per kg basis.
