because it is an oxide of heavier isotope of oxygen
What else can I help you with?
Water that contains hydrogen 2 atoms instead of hydrogen 1 atoms is called?
Water that contains hydrogen-2 instead of hydrogen-1 is called heavy water.
Why heavy water is so called?
Heavy water is composed of deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen with an extra neutron. This extra neutron increases the mass of the water molecule, leading to a higher density compared to regular "light" water. This is why it is called heavy water.
Why brahmputra called sorrow river of India?
unpredicted flow of water......heavy water currents... .heavy loss life and properties.. etc..
Is there another name for heavy water?
Heavy water has also been called deuterium oxide, D2O.
What is the type of solution formed by creek water after heavy rain is called?
The type of solution formed by creek water after heavy rain is called a dilute solution. This means that the concentration of solutes in the water is low compared to the solvent.
How do you separate heavy water?
Heavy water can be separated from regular water through a process called fractional distillation. This method takes advantage of the slightly different boiling points of the two types of water due to the presence of deuterium in heavy water. By heating the mixture and collecting the vapor at the right temperature, heavy water can be obtained.
What is it called when water rises to the earths surface from below during heavy rains?
This process is called water table rise, which occurs when heavy rainfall saturates the ground with water, causing the water table to rise. Excessive water accumulation can lead to flooding and potential water damage to properties on the surface.
How much regular water does it take to make 2oz of Heavy water?
To make 2 oz of heavy water, typically 556 oz of regular water is required. This is because heavy water, which contains deuterium instead of regular hydrogen, is produced through a process called isotopic exchange.
Does heavy water's ice float or sink in ordinary water... why?
Heavy water's ice will sink in ordinary water because it is approximately 11% denser than water. Anything denser than water will sink in water. Heavy water is also known as D20 rather than H20 because it has higher levels of an element called deuterium.
The difference between a sample of heavy water and regular water is that a hydrogen atom in heavy water has an extra?
The difference is that a hydrogen atom in heavy water, or deuterium oxide, contains an extra neutron in its nucleus compared to a hydrogen atom in regular water. This extra neutron increases the atomic mass of the heavy water molecule compared to regular water.
What is a large body of water lying after torrential rain that rhymes with bud called?
A large body of water that forms after heavy rain is called a flood.
How heavy water is obtained?
Heavy water is obtained through a process called isotopic exchange, where regular water is reacted with hydrogen sulfide or ammonia to replace the hydrogen atoms with deuterium. This results in a higher concentration of deuterium, making the water "heavy." Heavy water is then usually separated from regular water through techniques like distillation or fractional crystallization.
