Questions

Base your answers to questions 78 through 79 on the information below.

A substance known as heavy water can be obtained from ordinary water and could be a significant source of energy in the future. Heavy water contains deuterium, H-2. Instead of the two hydrogen atoms in a typical water molecule, a heavy water molecule has two deuterium atoms. In 3.78 kilograms of ordinary water, the percent composition by mass of heavy water is approximately 0.0156%. Deuterium atoms completely ionize at approximately 108 K. The result is an ionized gas consisting of electrons and deuterons (the nuclei of deuterium). A triton is the nucleus of a tritium atom, H-3. These particles react according to the equations below. In the second equation, X represents an unidentified product.

78 Calculate the mass of heavy water in a 3.78-kilogram sample of ordinary water. Your response must include both a correct numerical setup and the calculated result. [2]
