Density: 0.180 kg/m 3 at STP (0 °C, 101325 Pa). Atomic weight: 2.0141017926 Da. Mean abundance in ocean water (from VSMOW) 155.76 ± 0.1 atoms of deuterium per million atoms of all isotopes of hydrogen (about 1 atom of in 6420); that is, about 0.015% of all atoms of hydrogen (any isotope) Data at about 18 K for 2 H 2 (triple point): Density:
In physics, natural abundance (NA) refers to the abundance of isotopes of a chemical element as naturally found on a planet. The relative atomic mass (a weighted average, weighted by mole-fraction abundance figures) of these isotopes is the atomic weight listed for the element in the periodic table. The abundance of an isotope varies from ...
An example is water, whose hydrogen-related isotopologues are: "light water" (HOH or H 2 O), "semi-heavy water" with the deuterium isotope in equal proportion to protium (HDO or 1 H 2 HO), "heavy water" with two deuterium atoms (D 2 O or 2 H 2 O); and "super-heavy water" or tritiated water (T 2 O or 3 H 2 O, as well as HTO [1 H 3 HO] and DTO [2 ...
Here, R A is the isotope amount ratio of the natural analyte, R A = n(i A) A /n(j A) A, R B is the isotope amount ratio of the isotopically enriched analyte, R B = n(i A) B /n(j A) B, R AB is the isotope amount ratio of the resulting mixture, x(j A) A is the isotopic abundance of the minor isotope in the natural analyte, and x(j A) B is the ...
The standard atomic weight of a chemical element (symbol A r °(E) for element "E") is the weighted arithmetic mean of the relative isotopic masses of all isotopes of that element weighted by each isotope's abundance on Earth. For example, isotope 63 Cu (A r = 62.929) constitutes 69% of the copper on Earth, the rest being 65 Cu (A r = 64.927), so
Hydrogen (1 H) has three naturally occurring isotopes: 1 H, 2 H, and 3 H. 1 H and 2 H are stable, while 3 H has a half-life of 12.32(2) years. [3] [nb 1] Heavier isotopes also exist; all are synthetic and have a half-life of less than 1 zeptosecond (10 −21 s). [4] [5] Of these, 5 H is the least stable, while 7 H is the most.
All other isotopes have half-lives of less than two hours, and most less than one minute. The naturally occurring 40 K , with a half-life of 1.248 × 10 9 years, decays to stable 40 Ar by electron capture (10.72%) and by positron emission (0.001%), and also to stable 40 Ca via beta decay (89.28%).
The difference is whether the relative abundance is with respect to all the nitrogen, i.e. 14 N plus 15 N, or just to 14 N. Since the atmosphere is 99.6337% 14 N and 0.3663% 15 N, a is 0.003663 in the former case and 0.003663/0.996337 = 0.003676 in the latter.
