Help..!

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

Different mass numbers have different rates of chemical reactions.
The reaction between protium and Chlorine takes place 13.4 times faster than the reaction between deuterium and Chlorine.This is due to the difference in the mass numbers of protium and deuterium. As protium is lighter than deuterium, it gives rise to fast reactions.
