Random Thought: H20

[jaF0]

No idea why this popped in to my pea brain.

Is a molecule of water in steam or water vapor in air EXACTLY the same composition and size as one at the bottom of the deepest sea trench?

 

[islandman]

There are 18 kinds of water.

 

[Not Normal]

There are 18 kinds of water.

And that's not counting Vitamin water.

 

[neci]

that's not water. that's pee.

 

[islandman]

And that's not counting Vitamin water.

19.

20 if you count seltzer.

 

[islandman]

This brings to mind a related question: is a woman's squirt its own kind of water?

The molecules are the same. The space between molecules changes with temperature and pressure.

 

[Hypoxia]

But that's not counting heavy water.

Some of you are all wet.

Same composition, but as Weird Harold notes, water at the deepest sea trench will be compressed. The effect of pressure on a volume of water, since water is highly incompressible, will be small - on the order of one part in a hundred, or less. It's having to do with the bulk modulus.

Sounds like you're stoned.

Ding, ding, ding.

But that's not counting heavy water.

Since the proportion of "Heavy Water" to "light water" stays relatively constant, the composition of water in Challenger Deep and the top of the tallest thunderhead will be the same.

Iirc, heavy water is that not-quite-water thing that is used in neutrino detectors and stuff. Has an extra isotope. 2H2O instead of H2O. Not sure if it's still technically water, but I'm not a chemist.

Heavy water is water that replaces one or both Hydrogen atoms with Deuterium or Tritium isotopes of Hydrogen. All are chemically the same and H2O, D2O, or T20 are all "water." The water you get out of the tap, or buy in bottles contains roughly the same percentage of "heavy water" as the Challenger Deep or the very highest of clouds.

I myself am working on Ice-9.



The world needs to be put out of its misery.


Good morning WH; long time, no see (A little pidgin injun' lingo there).

Wow! This questions deeper than any ocean.

That's what Trump said.

Pressure, exerted on an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished throughout the fluid and walls of the container.

Comes in handy when you need to dump 368 tons out of a haul truck.

Or keep a nuclear reactor pressurized.

Tritium eh? If they taught me this in high school, I was probably asleep at the desk. I guess that's yet another neutron?

East Texas has water but it's not safe to drink.
