Water 2 - Names and Identifiers
Water 2 - Introduction
Water 2, also known as Deuterium oxide, is a Water molecule containing a Deuterium isotope with the chemical formula D2O.
Properties of Water 2:
1. Density: The density of Water 2 is higher than that of ordinary Water, about 1.11g/cm3.
2. Boiling point and melting point: the boiling point and melting point of Water 2 are slightly higher than those of ordinary Water, about 101.42 ℃ and 3.82 ℃ respectively.
3. Stability: Water 2 has better thermal stability and chemical stability than ordinary Water.
4. Solubility: Water 2 has similar solubility with many substances, but compared with ordinary Water, it may have slight differences with some substances.
Purpose of Water 2:
1. Laboratory application: Water 2 is commonly used in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, mass spectrometry, crystallography, biochemistry and other fields in the laboratory.
2. Isotope labeling: Because Water 2 contains Deuterium isotopes, it can be used for isotope labeling research, such as tracking the metabolic pathway and reaction kinetics of compounds.
3. Nuclear reactant: Water 2 can be used as a neutron source for nuclear reactions and plays an important role in nuclear energy research.
Water 2 preparation method:
The preparation of Water 2 is usually achieved by a heavy Water separation process. This process involves the use of substances with a strong affinity for deuterium, such as sodium hydride, silica gel or hydrated sodium tungstate, to separate the hydrogen isotopes in ordinary Water, resulting in Water 2 enriched in Deuterium isotopes.
Safety information for Water 2:
1. Compared with ordinary Water, Water 2 is less toxic and dangerous, but it still needs to be used carefully.
2. Avoid direct contact with Water 2 because it may cause skin irritation.
3. When using Water 2 in the laboratory, you should follow the relevant safety procedures, and store and handle the substance correctly.
4. When transporting Water 2, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure that the container is firm and prevent leakage and damage.
5. If Water 2 is accidentally spilled, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of Water and seek medical help.
