This ice cube is too heavy

  • Ice normally floats on water because as water freezes it expands, and the density of the solid becomes less than the liquid. This on the other hand is an ice cube that I made, but this one's kind of special, and it's able to sink.
    This is because it isn't normal water, and it's actually heavy water. This heavy water (D2O), is made when the hydrogen of regular water (H2O) is replaced with deuterium, which is a heavier isotope of hydrogen. Heavy water is about 11% denser than regular water (H20), and this extra weight lets it sink.

      So far, there has been no adverse poisonous reaction with intaking deuterium., just slightly mild discomfort

      @xxportalxx. 2 роки тому +214

      I'm pretty sure that effect isn't specifically from the d2o, although it may make it more pronounced. Bc the water coming off any ice cube will be colder, thus will sink, and as it's colder it's going to have a higher density and therfore different optical properties (refraction). It's the same reason you see 'heat waves' rising off hot asphalt, although literally the opposite conditions.

    • @kresnic02cr45
      @kresnic02cr45 2 роки тому +79

      It's due to density of the D2O being more than H2O remember that light refraction depends on the density of the medium it goes through. Therefore we can see it melting and looks cool.

    For anyone wondering, the D in D2O stands for Deuterium.
    Deuterium is basically a Hydrogen atom, but with 1 neutron in its nucleus instead of 0. This makes the total weight higher (just double, actually. Weight of hydrogen is 1 amu due to just 1 proton. Weight of Deuterium is 2 amu due to 1 proton and 1 neutron) but doesn't increase volume, hence increasing the density.
    These kinds of atoms where they're of the same element (same number of protons and electrons) but differ by the number of neutrons and hence differ by Atomic weight are called Isotopes.
    Hydrogen has 3 Isotopes: Protium (the normal one), Deuterium (with 1 neutron), and Tritium (with 2 neutrons).

    For those wondering, the water is made using an isotope of hydrogen called Deuterium.
    Atoms are made of positive heavy protons in the core of the atom, and tiny negative electrons that orbit the core. There are also neutral neutrons in the core that are a little heavier than protons. Typically for lighter elements, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons is equal.
    Oxygen for example most often has 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons, for a total weight of 16 (electrons don't really contribute to the weight). Hydrogen often doesn't have any Neutrons and is just one proton and one electron. So when you make H2O using two hydrogen atoms and an Oxygen atom, the weight of that molecule is 16+1+1 = 18.
    Deuterium is a hydrogen atom that also has a neutron for a total weight of 2, so when you make D2O, you get 16+2+2 = 20, or about 11% heavier. Now adding neutrons doesn't really make the atom any bigger, just heavier, which is why the ice sinks.

    you can see the slightly heavier D20 that is melting off of the heavy ice sinking to the bottom, because it is also optically denser and is refracting light, really cool.
