It is an isotopic effect on solubility; the normal water is H2O or the heavy water is D2O.

What would happen to the solubility of a gas in water if the volume of the water were decreased but the volume of the gas remained constant?
The solubility would be the same, however, you wouldn't be able to put as much gas into this smaller amount of water because, well...there is less water.
What is meant by the term slightly soluble?
"soluble" means that the solubility is greater than about 1 g per 100 ml. "insoluble" means that the solubility is less than 0.1 g per 100ml. Substances with solubility between these limits are called "sparingly soluble".
What is the solubility of oil in water?
Oil is not soluble in water. That's why two layers form when you pour oil onto water - the top layer being oil (it is less dense than water)
Is oxygenated water less dense than carbonated water?
I would think so. Oxygen is lighter than CO2. The solubility of CO2 is also higher than O2 in water, so there can be more of it in the water.
Why is o-aniline phenol less soluble in water than m-aniline phenol?
In o-aniline phenol Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs which is not possible in meta and is responsible for less solubility
Is calcium hypochlorite soluble?
It has very less water solubility
How do structure and number of carbons affect the solubility of alcohols in water?
The longer the carbon chain, the less polar the compound becomes. Therefore the less soluble it will be. I think as you pass 4 carbons, solubility of alcohols is an issue in water.
Why glucose is less soluble in water?
glucose has less solubility than sodium chloride because of the more OH bonds
What is the solubility of sodium chloride at 5 degrees Celsius?
It is soluble in water. But it is less in this temperature.
Why is large heavy exoskeleton less limiting for arthropods that live in water?

How does solubility in water depend on the chain length of alcohols?
The solubility of alcohols in water depends on the formation of hydrogen bond between the OH-group of the alcohol and the H of water;therefore when the chain length increases,the ratio of the OH-groups compared to the alkyl part decreases, decreasing the number of hydrogen bond and solubility, and vice versa.
Does heavy rainfall make ocean water more or less dense?
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
Why does solubility of alum in water change with temperature?
The water molecules spread out as temperature increases, which allows the alum to dissolve more readily. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the water molecules become more compact which causes the alum to be less soluble.
Which is a way for the body to conserve water during heavy sweating?
The body will take in less water to conserve water during periods of heavy sweating.
