I'm not sure I know what the question is asking. First, 99.75 weight % of what? I will assume that means 99.75% w/w D2O in H2O. So in a 100 g same of the water,
99.75g D2O and 0.25g H2O
mols D2O = 99.75/molar mass D2O
molecules D2O = ? x 6.023E23
mols H2O = 0.25/molar mass H2O = z
molecules H2O = z*6.023E23
Total # molecules = sum of D2O and H2O
Then molecule% D2O =
[(molecules D2O/total molecules)]*100 = ?
molecule % H2O =
[(molecules H2O/total molecules)]*100 = ?
99.75g D2O and 0.25g H2O
mols D2O = 99.75/molar mass D2O
molecules D2O = ? x 6.023E23
mols H2O = 0.25/molar mass H2O = z
molecules H2O = z*6.023E23
Total # molecules = sum of D2O and H2O
Then molecule% D2O =
[(molecules D2O/total molecules)]*100 = ?
molecule % H2O =
[(molecules H2O/total molecules)]*100 = ?
