About 1980, the United States Postal Service detached the two-thirds of greater Oxon Hill that was furthest from Washington, D.C. and re-defined that part as a new postal designation, Fort Washington, MD.
A gallon of paint is heavier than a gallon of water. Mostly anything that mixes a solid into the water will be heavier than water. Most homes have a can of Spackle , which is a common liquid for patching drywall and it is almost twice as heavy as water. Of course,mercury is the heaviest liquid, but isn't common around the house anymore. But if you have a mercury switch for turning on your furnace, then that would be the heaviest common liquid by far. Which, I assume, discounts mercury - oil is lighter than water, so two choices would be sugar water or salt water.
Heavy water is so named because it is significantly more dense (>1.1 g/cm3) than ordinary (âlightâ) water, 1H2O (1 gm/cm3). Heavy water is not radioactive and has the same chemical properties as light water; a person could drink a glass of heavy water without harm. However, heavy water is better than light water at moderating (slowing) neutrons, which makes it useful in some nuclear reactor cores. Its scarcity during World War II, partly assured by bombing raids and daring Allied commando missions to destroy heavy-water production facilities, interfered critically with the German and Japanese nuclear programs.
