Consider the hypothetical isotope of hydrogen,quadrium,Q = ⁴H.Q₂O would have a melting point that is (higher,lower)and a dissociation constant K_w that is (larger smaller)than H₂O. A)higher,larger B)higher,smaller C)lower,larger D)lower,smaller

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quadrium (Q) is heavier than regular hydrogen, leading to stronger hydrogen bonds in Q2O, resulting in a higher melting point and a smaller dissociation constant Kw compared to H2O.

Consider the Hypothetical Isotope of Hydrogen,quadrium,Q = 4H

Consider the Hypothetical Isotope of Hydrogen,quadrium,Q = ⁴H
