I was talking about PURE nitrogen, you are talking about nitrogen COMPOUNDS. Pure Nitrogen becomes a liquid at MINUS 346 degrees F and becomes a gas at MINUS 320 degrees F. So, as you can see, you would need some very expensive specialized equipment to have PURE nitrogen powder and I definitely wouldn't touch it, not unless you want your fingers to drop off.

Urea is a nitrogen based chemical with a formula of CO(NH2)2, so as you can see, it also contains carbon, oxygen and hydrogen and is found in urine(hence the name, urine). Ammonia is NH3, so has three atoms of hydrogen for every atom of nitrogen. So what you are buying is compounds with nitrogen in them, not pure nitrogen.
