What happends when heavy water comes out the muffler?
No heavy water in the muffler.
How heavy is a swimsuit?
A swimsuit is not very heavy it only get a little heavy when we come out of water as it retains water
Does the specific gravity of ice change if it is heavy water?
Of course. Heavy water ice will sink in light water.
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.
Does heavy water taste different from regular water?
Yes, heavy water does taste slightly different from regular water. Heavy water has a slightly sweeter taste due to the presence of deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen.
What is heavy water and why did Hitler want some?
Heavy water is water with some gases extracted.if you put it in a barrel and put the barrel in water the barrel would sink.Theonly reason Hitler wanted heavy water was because heavy water is used in atomic bombs.the only place he could get the heavy water was Norway. fortunately the Brit's blew up the only cargo ship carrying the heavy water back to Germany...some heavy water is lost in a lake somewhere in norway...lost in time forever.
When did Norwegian heavy water sabotage happen?
Norwegian heavy water sabotage happened in 1940.
Is heavy water radioactive?
No, heavy water is not radioactive. It is a form of water where the hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. Heavy water is commonly used in nuclear reactors as a neutron moderator.
How heavy water different from normal water?
Heavy water is about 11% denser than ordinary water, due to enriching of its deuterium isotopes.
When the Germans were trying to get the heavy water were they trying to get it from an ocean or what?
Heavy water occurs naturally in all water in a proportion of about one part in twenty million. In order to get a certain amount of heavcy water you have to isolate the heavy molecules out of a large quantity of water. The Germans used fresh water because there would have been no point in having to desalinize before they could even begin isolating the heavy water from the regular water. Heavy water is heavy because one of the hydrogen atoms in the water molecule has a neutron in its nucleus along with the proton.
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.
