Ordinary hydrogen

To calculate the conventional entropy of crystalline hydrogen in the limit as r 0. 

According to Simon (Z. Phj s. 1923, 15, 307) the triple-point of hydrogen is T = 13.95 °K, the vapour-pressure at this temperature is 5.38 cm Hg and the heat of sublimation at this temperature is 245.8 cal mole. From the measurements of Simon and Lange (Z. Phj S. 1923,15, 312), by extrapolating the heat capacity C to T = 0 with a Debye function, Giauque (J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 1930, 52, 4816) has estimated for the crystal 

The molar mass of Hg is 2.016 g mole. The rotational characteristic temperature 0, is 85.4 deg and the vibrational diaracteristic temperature 0 is 60 x 10 deg (calculated from wave numbers given by Herzberg, Molecular spectra of diatomic molecules , Prentice-Hall, 1939). 

Inserting numerical values into formula (1) of problem 52 we obtain for T = 298.16 K and P = 1 atm 

This residual entropy is due to the fact that f of the molecules being ortho are in the rotational state / = 1 which is orientationaUy triply degenerate. The theoretical value of this residual entropy is therefore

The slightly different physical properties of deuterium allow its concentration in ordinary hydrogen (or the concentration of a deuterium-containing compound in a hydrogen compound) to be determined. Exchange of deuterium and hydrogen occurs and can be used to elucidate the mechanism of reactions (i.e. the deuterium is a non-radioactive tracer). Methanol exchanges with deuterium oxide thus ... 

The ordinary isotope of hydrogen, H, is known as Protium, the other two isotopes are Deuterium (a proton and a neutron) and Tritium (a protron and two neutrons). Hydrogen is the only element whose isotopes have been given different names. Deuterium and Tritium are both used as fuel in nuclear fusion reactors. One atom of Deuterium is found in about 6000 ordinary hydrogen atoms. 

Hot atom reactions have also been used to label organic compounds with T. Irradiation of helium-3 with neutrons according to the nuclear reaction produces very energetic tritium atoms that can displace ordinary hydrogen in organic compounds. This procedure is not very selective, and the labeling pattern must be determined to enable the tritiated product to be used effectively as a tracer (34). 

The proton, which has a mass nearly equal to that of an ordinary hydrogen atom. The proton carries a unit positive charge (+1), equal in magnitude to that of the electron... 

A tritium atom takes precedence over deuterium, which in turn takes precedence over ordinary hydrogen. Similarly, any higher isotope (such as... 

In aqueous solutions, approximately one atom of deuterium, D, is present for every 7000 atoms of the ordinary hydrogen isotope (protium, H). In the evolntion of heavy hydrogen, HD, the polarization is approximately 0.1 V higher than in the evolution of ordinary hydrogen, H2. Hence during electrolysis the gas will be richer in protium, and the residual solution will be richer in deuterium. The relative degree of enrichment is called the separation factor (S) of the hydrogen isotopes,... 

The size and shape of polymer chains joined in a crosslinked matrix can be measured in a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiment. This is a-chieved by labelling a small fraction of the prepolymer with deuterium to contrast strongly with the ordinary hydrogenous substance. The deformation of the polymer chains upon swelling or stretching of the network can also be determined and the results compared with predictions from the theory of rubber elasticity. 

For most chemical purposes, deuterium and tritium atoms in a molecule behave in much the same way that ordinary hydrogen atoms behave. 

The extra mass associated with these labeled atoms may cause compounds containing deuterium or tritium atoms to react more slowly than compounds with ordinary hydrogen atoms. 

Soon after Dennison had deduced from the specific-heat curve that ordinary hydrogen gas consists of a mixture of two types of molecule, the so-called ortho and para hydrogen, a similar state of affairs in the case of iodine gas was demonstrated by direct experiment by R. W. Wood and F. W. Loomis.1 In brief, these experimenters found that the iodine bands observed in fluorescence stimulated by white light differ from those in the fluorescence excited by the green mercury line X 5461, which happens to coincide with one of the iodine absorption lines. Half of the lines are missing in the latter case, only those being present which are due to transitions in which the rotational quantum number of the upper state is an even integer. In other words, in the fluorescence spectrum excited by X 5461 only those lines appear which are due to what we may provisionally call the ortho type of iodine molecule. 

Professor Baker has also shown that, when a mixture of ordinary hydrogen and oxygen is exposed to the influence of strong sunlight, the two gases very slowly react, with the production of water in minute quantities. 

Type 2 Nuclei with I = V2. These nuclei have a non-zero magnetie moment and are NMR visible and have no nuclear eleetrie quadrupole (Q). The two most important nuclei for NMR speetroseopy belong to this eategory H (ordinary hydrogen) and (a non-radioaetive isotope of earbon occurring to the extent of 1.06% at natural abundanee). Also, two other commonly observed nuclei and P have I = V2. Together, NMR data for H and C account for well over 90% of all NMR observations in the literature and the discussion and examples in this book all refer to these two nuelei. However, the spectra of all nuclei with I = V2 can be understood easily on the basis of common theory. 

All corrections to the energy levels obtained above in the case of ordinary hydrogen and collected in the Tables 3.2, 3.3, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4.1, 5.1 are still valid for muonic hydrogen after an obvious substitution of the muon mass instead of the electron mass in all formulae. These contributions are included in Table 7.1. 

The nuclear size correction of order Za) m in muonic hydrogen in the external field approximation is given by (6.13). Unlike ordinary hydrogen, in muonic hydrogen it makes a difference if we use mj or mmf in this expression (compare footnote after (6.13)). We will use the factor mj as obtained in [53]... 

By using dideuterioethanol, CH3CD2OH, as substrate, they demonstrated that one atom of deuterium is transferred from substrate to coenzyme, and further that this atom of deuterium is transferred from the coenzyme, under the influence of lactic dehydrogenase, to pyruvate (Fisher, et al., 1953 Loewus et al., 1953a,b Vennesland and Westheimer, 1954). The converse experiment was also carried out, that is to say, the reactions were performed with normal substrate and coenzyme, but in D20 this resulted in transfer of ordinary hydrogen from substrate to coenzyme. The question they had set out to answer was then settled the oxidation-reductions proceed by direct transfer of hydrogen between substrate and coenzyme. These results have subsequently been confirmed in numerous investigations with other enzymic reactions that require NAD+ or NADP+. 

Ordinary hydrogen is sometimes called a perfect fuel, because of its almost unlimited supply on Earth, and when it burns, harmless water is the product of the combustion. So why don t we abandon fission energy and fusion energy, not to mention fossil fuel energy, and just use hydrogen ... 

Al high temperatures, the loss of heat from a glowing wire in hydrugen is l.irger than expected on regular assumptions. This is believed lu be due lo dissociation of ordinary hydrogen into atomic hydrogen (H). See Table I.
