It is true because heat is released when a gas changes to a liquid

Answer:

The state is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phase change from solid to liquid to gas is an endothermic process. Heat is absorbed when solid melts or liquid evaporates. And the reverse is true. When gas liquefies or a liquid solidifies heat is released and the process is exothermic.

Therefore, when nitrogen gas turns to liquid nitrogen heat is released.
