Heavy water is made with Deuterium which is an isotope of Hydrogen that has one Neutron in the atomic nucleus. Common hydrogen does not have any neutrons in the nucleus.
This extra neutron makes the water heavier (twice the mass per atom) and more reactive.
Heavy water is deuterium oxide. Ordinary water is Hydrogen Oxide.

∙ 13y agoThe density of heavy water is almost 11% more than that of ordinary water. The exact values, measured at standard temperature and pressure, are:
Heavy Water: 1.1056 g.cm-3
Ordinary Water: 0.9982 g.cm-3

Why Solubility of salt is less in heavy water than normal?
It is an isotopic effect on solubility; the normal water is H2O or the heavy water is D2O.
What is the normal freezing point of heavy water?
ordinary water 0Cheavy water 4C
What are the industrial applications of heavy water?
Heavy water can be used to make titanium. Titanium is used to make many things, from jewelery to automobiles and self-powered lighting. Titanium is becoming a more common substance, as it is incredibly tough.
How do you separate heavy water?
heavy water can be seperated by exchanging the D20 between ordinary water and hydrogen sulphide at different temperatures
Deuterium is in one liter of heavy water?
The percentage of deuterated water (D2O and HDO) in normal water is approx. 0,015 %.
How heavy water different from normal water?
Heavy water is about 11% denser than ordinary water, due to enriching of its deuterium isotopes.
How is hydrogen and heavy water different from hydrogen and normal water?
Heavy water is water whose atomic structure consists of oxygen and heavy hydrogen. Heavy hydrogen, or deuterium, is hydrogen with neutrons in its nuclei.
Why Solubility of salt is less in heavy water than normal?
It is an isotopic effect on solubility; the normal water is H2O or the heavy water is D2O.
How heavy is a gallon of normal water?
3,785 kg
What is the normal freezing point of heavy water?
ordinary water 0Cheavy water 4C
How does heavy water differ from regular water?
Normal Water (H20) has hydrogen atoms with one proton and Heavy Water (D20) has a neutron and a proton in it H2 atoms.
How is hydrogen in heavy water different from hydrogen in normal water?
Type your answer here... The hydrogen atoms in heavy water have a neutron in the nucleus, doubling the mass.
What are the industrial applications of heavy water?
Heavy water can be used to make titanium. Titanium is used to make many things, from jewelery to automobiles and self-powered lighting. Titanium is becoming a more common substance, as it is incredibly tough.
Are the PHWR and PWR are same?
They are the same in that they don't allow reactor coolant water boiling in the primary water coolant loop. They are different in that in PHWR the moderator is heavy water while in PWR the moderator is normal light water.
How do you separate heavy water?
heavy water can be seperated by exchanging the D20 between ordinary water and hydrogen sulphide at different temperatures
Can electricity flow through heavy water?
Electricity can flow through pure heavy water only at sufficiently high voltages to ionize the water. However, heavy water, like normal water, can dissolve salts to produce a solution that conducts electricity.
What is known as heavy water?
Heavy water is not an isotope. It is the compound H2O, same as water, except that the "normal" hydrogen atoms H-1 are replaced by atoms of deuterium = H-2.
