Multiple choice chemistry hard water and soft water heavy water study of heavy water hydrogen and its compounds

Heavy water is not used for drinking because:

  1. it is poisonous

  2. it is costly

  3. its physiological action is different from ordinary water

  4. its chemical properties different from ordinary water
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

As molecular mass of heavy water is higher than water so its physiological action is different from ordinary water and because of that reason it can not be used as drinking water.

Which of the following are correctly matched?


$(a):D _{2}O-$ Hard water

$(b):H _{2}O-$ Heavy water

$(c):D-$ Heavy hydrogen

$(d):BaO _{2}.8H _{2}O-$ True peroxide

B Correct answer
Explanation

$D _{2}O-$ Heavy water


$H _{2}O-$ Ordinary water

$D-$ Heavy hydrogen (As atomic mass of $D$ is higher than $H$)

$BaO _{2}.8H _{2}O-$ True peroxide.

Heavy water $(D _{2}O)$ freezes at:

  1. $0^\circ C$
  2. $-3.8^\circ C$
  3. $0.8^\circ C$
  4. $3.82^\circ C$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Freezing point of heavy water is $3.82^oC$. Heavy water is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, rather than the common hydrogen-$1$ isotope that makes up most of the hydrogen in regular water.

Which of the following is not true?

  1. Ordinary water is electrolysed more rapidly than $D _{2}O$
  2. $D _{2}O$ freezes at lower temperature than $H _{2}O$
  3. Reaction between $H _{2}$ and $Cl _{2}$ is much faster than $D _{2}$ and $Cl _{2}$
  4. Bond dissociation energy for $D _{2}$ is greater than $H _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

As D contains one extra neutron so heavy water has higher molecular mass than water and its electrolysis takes more time.
Also because of that it is less reactive and bond dissociation energy for $D _{2}$ is greater than $H _{2}$.
And $D _{2}O$ freezes (3.8C) at higher temperature than $H _{2}O$

What is formed when calcium carbide reacts with heavy water?

  1. $C _{2}D _{2}$
  2. $CaD _{2}$
  3. $Ca _{2}D _{2}O$
  4. $CD _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Calcium carbide reacts with ordinary water and acetylene forms, similarly calcium carbide reacts with heavy water and  deuterated acetylene $C _{2}D _{2}$ forms.
Reaction:

$CaC _2+2D _2O\rightarrow C _{2}D _{2}$ + $Ca(OD) _2$

Some statements about heavy water are given below:
$(a):$Heavy water is used as a moderator in nuclear reactions
$(b):$Heavy water is more associated than ordinary water
$(c):$Heavy water is more effective solvent than ordinary water
Select correct statements:

  1. $(a),\:(b)\:and\:(c)$
  2. $(b)\:and\:(c)$
  3. $(a)\:and\:(c)$
  4. $(a)\:and\:(b)$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Heavy water is $D _2O$, it has higher molar mass than water.
It is used in nuclear reactors, where it acts as a neutron moderator to slow down neutrons so that they are more likely to react with the fissile uranium-235 than with uranium-238, which captures neutrons without fissioning.
Also, dielectric constant of $D _2O$ is lower than water so solubility of inorganic substances is greater in$H _{2}O$ than $D _{2}O$.

Of the two solvent ${ H } _{ 2 }O$ and ${ D } _{ 2 }O$, $NaCl$ dissolves:

  1. equally in both solvents
  2. only in ${ H } _{ 2 }O$ but remains insoluble in ${ D } _{ 2 }O$
  3. more in ${ D } _{ 2 }O$
  4. more in ${ H } _{ 2 }O$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$NaCl$ (and other ionic compounds) dissolve more in $H _2O$ than in $D _2O$ as the dielectric constant of $H _2O$ $(78.39)$ is higher than the dielectric constant of $D _2O:(78.06)$. This is due to lower molar mass of $H _2O$ as compared to that of $D _2O$.

Which of the following is not the possible enol form of propanone in the presence of heavy water?

  1. ${ CH } _{ 3 }-CD=\overset { \overset { OD }{ | } }{ C } -D$
  2. ${ CH } _{ 3 }-\overset { \overset { OD }{ | } }{ C= } CHD$
  3. ${ CH } _{ 2 }=\overset { \overset { OD }{ | } }{ C- } { CD } _{ 3 }$
  4. ${ CD } _{ 2 }=\overset { \overset { OD }{ | } }{ C- } { CD } _{ 3 }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In the presence of D2O, the alpha-hydrogens of propanone are replaced by deuterium through keto-enol tautomerism. Option A shows a structure that is not a standard enol form of propanone as it implies incorrect substitution patterns or connectivity for the enolization of propanone.
