Question

write the uses of protium , deuterium , tritium and nascent hydrogen

Answer 1

PROTIUM

Protium is an successful minimizing agent for the preparation of certain metals like tungsten in a pure state. It is used in the production of high temperature by suggests of oxyhydrogen flame for welding purposes. Protium is a very good lifting agent in filling balloons and dirigibles.

TRITIUM

Tritium has been produced in large quantities by the nuclear military program. It is also used to make luminous dials and as a source of light for sarety signs. Tritium is used as a tracer for biochemical research, animal metabolism studies and ground water transport measurements.

DEUTERIUM

It is widely used in prototype fusion reactors and has their application in military, industrial and scientific fields. In nuclear fusion reactors, it is used as a tracer and it is responsible to slow down neutrons in heavy water moderated fission reactors.

NASCENT HYDROGEN

It is used in making atomic hydrogen torch. The newly born hydrogen as a result of chemical reaction in the solution in contact with the substance to be reduced is called nascent hydrogen.
