23. Nearly all hydrogen exists as the 'H isotope, but 2H does exist in trace quantities. Water containing only this heavier isotope of hydrogen (i.e., "heavy water") has numerous scientific applications. The density of ordinary water (which we will assume to be entirely ¹H2160) is 1.000 g/mL. Estimate the density of heavy water (2H2160) assuming that 1 mL of ordinary water contains the same number of molecules as 1 mL of heavy water. 23.
