To disentangle these two effects we study the dielectric relaxation of light (H216O), heavy (D216O) and heavy-oxygen (H218O) water at temperatures ranging from 278 to 338 K. Upon 16O/18O exchange, we find that the relaxation time of the collective orientational relaxation mode of water increases by 4-5%, in quantitative agreement with the enhancement of viscosity. Despite the rotational character of dielectric relaxation, the increase is consistent with a translational mass factor. For H/D substitution, the slow-down of the relaxation time is more pronounced and also shows a strong temperature dependence. In addition to the classical mass factor, the enhancement of the relaxation time for D216O can be described by an apparent temperature shift of 7.2 K relative to H216O, which is higher than the 6.5 K shift reported for viscosity. As this shift accounts for altered zero-point energies, the comparison suggests that the underlying thermally populated states relevant to the activation of viscous flow and dielectric relaxation differ.The mechanism of nitrobenzene hydrogenation on non-noble metals such as Ni is different from that previously reported for noble metals like Pt. The newly proposed pathway involves the initial dissociation of the two N-O bonds of nitrobenzene (Ph-NO2→ Ph-NO → Ph-N), leading to partial oxidation of the catalyst surface, followed by two successive hydrogenation steps (Ph-N → Ph-NH → Ph-NH2) that finally produce the functionalized aniline. Due to the oxophilic nature of non-noble metals like Ni, Co or Cu, the hydrogenation of the Ph-N intermediate and the removal of O in the form of water become the most energy demanding steps of the process. The strength of the interaction of O, H and N
