A nitrogen gas reaction control system was used outside the atmosphere.
The bigger concern with break down would be the release of nitrogen gas.
This makes sodium metal and a lot of nitrogen gas.
Nitrogen gas is released to the atmosphere and thus removed from the water.
Nitrogen gas is the leaving group, which makes this reaction very favorable.
The air around us had long been known to consist of 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen gases.
Nitrogen gas is used instead to create the bubbles.
So a tank of nitrogen gas at room temperature will never form a liquid phase.
They suck nitrogen gas right out of the soil and turn it into fertilizer for the plant.
This is because at high temperature, they can decompose and release nitrogen gas.
