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, because it's able to sink.

    • @xxportalxx.
      @xxportalxx. Před rokem +183

      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 Před rokem +71

      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 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.

    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).

      Imagine if that was actually how it was tho. Fish and wildlife would not be able to stay alive under the surface of frozen lakes for example. The ice sheets would crush them, later by layer. They excape one? Well, another one is coming soon. Every season all life would die under there, and it would become desolate after a single season. Same with arctic life. It would throw off the balance of ecosystems massively and honestly most likely humanity wouldn't survive that change. I'll take the ice cubes hitting me in the teeth. Think about how lucky we are next time an ice cube hits your teeth!
