Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

COMPARISON BETWEEN D2O (HEAVY WATER) AND H2O (WATER)

H2O (WATER) D2O (HEAVY WATER) REASON FOR THE DIFFERENCE
DEFINITION: A water molecule is formed by the combination of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Heavy water is also water but with an exception, it contains more than normal proportion of isotope Deuterium. Water is combination of two hydrogen atoms and oxygen but heavy water is combination of two Deuterium and one oxygen.
BOILING POINT: 100oC 101.4oC Hydrogen bonding in D2O is slightly greater than H2O. Therefore D2O needs more energy to boil.
DENSITY: Less than D2O. 11% more than H2O. Deuterium isotope of hydrogen that is twice as heavy as hydrogen due to an added neutron. Therefore D2O is more heavier/denser.
FREEZING POINT: 0oC 3.8oC More massive bound deuterons have less zero-point energy than the less bound Hydrogen/protons.
pH VALUE: Low 7 Comparatively high. Heavy water is less dissociated than normal water.
SHAPE: Bent/ Broader structure. Tetrahedral shape. Heavy water molecule is more massive than normal water molecules.(added neutron)

Hope this helped for your studies. Keep learning. Have a good day.

Heart muscle contains a form of PFK-2/FBPase-2 that is different from that in liver. In heart muscle, phosphorylation of PFK-2/FBPase-2 by protein kinase A (also called cAMP-dependent protein kinase) activates PFK-2 and inhibits FBPase-2. Explain why this makes metabolic sense for a response of heart muscle to epinephrine. (Heart muscle cells have receptors for epinephrine, but not for glucagon.)
