The ability of a proton to tunnel through a barrier contributes to the rapidity of proton transfer reactions in solution and therefore to the properties of acids and bases. Estimate relative probabilities that a proton and a deuteron (Md=3.342e-27 kg) can tunnel through the same barrier of height 1.0 eV (1.6e-19 J) and length 100 pm when their energy is 0.9 eV.
