Under normal atmospheric pressure, nitrogen boils (and condenses) at -196oC. When 7.7 g of nitrogen gas at -196oC was put into a dewar flask initially at -260oC, their temperatures reach -210oC. The specific heat capacity and heat of vaporization of nitrogen are 1.04 J/g-oC and 200 J/g. Based on the system described above, is the following statement true or false? The nitrogen released heat and the flask absorbed it.
