Question
Suppose that something had gone "wrong" in the Big Bang and, instead of ordinary
hydrogen, there was an abundance of deuterium in the Universe. There would be
many subtle changes in equilibria, particularly the deuteron transfer equilibria of
heavy acids and bases. The Kw for D20, at 25 °C, is 1.35 x 10-15. Calculate the pD
and pOD in neutral heavy water at 25 °C.
Ans: 7.45
