Why Solubility of salt is less in heavy water than normal?
It is an isotopic effect on solubility; the normal water is H2O or the heavy water is D2O.
Is H2O homogeneous or heterogeneous?
Water is homogeneous. ------------------------------------------------- Actually natural water is heterogeneous as it is a mixture of H2O and a very tiny amount of D2O. The D2O (i.e. heavy water) has higher mass than H2O and slightly different chemical properties. However for ordinary practical purposes the presence of this D2O can usually be ignored.
Why is heavy water heavier than regular water?
Because heavy water is D2O and not H2O; the hydrogen atomic nucleus has only one proton, the deuterium has one proton and one neutron. Consequently the properties of the two isotopes are very different. The deuterated water is more dense than the normal water (1,1056 g/cm3 for D2O and 0,9982 g/cm3 for H2O.
Out of dry and wet air which is heavier?
Moist air weighs less than dry air at the same temperature. This is because the density of diatomic Oxygen and Nitrogen is greater than water vapor (H2O).
What is symbol of heavy water?
The chemical formula of heavy water is D2O.
What was heavy water?
Heavy water is water with the chemical formula of D2O or deuterium oxide. This water is composed of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, which is heavier and less stable than hydrogen. It has quite similar physical and chemical properties to those of H2O. The dielectric constant of D2O is lower than that of H2O and rate of reactions are much slower than H2O. It is used as a moderator in nuclear reactions, as trace compound for studying a reaction mechanism, for the preparation of deuterium.
What is same in H2O and D2O?
The chemical properties are the same. The physical properties are not.
What is heavy water contains?
H2O, DHO, and D2O in some mixture.

What is used as an efficient moderator in a majority of reactors?
Light water (H2O) and heavy water (D2O)
Why is deuterated water heavier than water?
Heavy water (D2O) is water created using the Deuterium isotope of Hydrogen, and is about 11% more dense than normal water but is still physically and chemically very similar to regular H2O. Heavy water is commonly used as a nuclear reactor moderator (slow down the neutrons to sustain the fission reaction). see related link
A source of energy loss in a machine?
the sources of energy is heat because h2o+c2o+l2o+a2o+w2o+d2o=soeliam
Which is not a source of energy loss in a machine?
the sources of energy is heat because h2o+c2o+l2o+a2o+w2o+d2o=soeliam
What is element of d2o?
D2O is a type of water known as heavy water, they use in candu reactors increasing its efficency. im not sure of what the elment "d" is but i do know that oxygene is the o so its basically the same as water h2o only that the mysterious elemnt d replaces the hydrogene
