Why is heavy water heavier than regular water?
Because heavy water is D2O and not H2O; the hydrogen atomic nucleus has only one proton, the deuterium has one proton and one neutron. Consequently the properties of the two isotopes are very different. The deuterated water is more dense than the normal water (1,1056 g/cm3 for D2O and 0,9982 g/cm3 for H2O.
What is heavey water?
There are two types of heavy water. The first is where the hydrogen atom is replaced by the Deuterium atom, which contains a neutron. (Thus the atom for practical purposes) is twice as heavy. There is another similar form of hydrogen atom which contains two neutrons, and consequently weighs three times as much as the ordinary Hydrogen. Tritium has a half life of just over 12 years. Deuterium is stable. If either of these hydrogen isotopes is used to make water, the water is heavier than usual. Commonly differentiated as 'Deuterated water' and Tritiated water' [There is actually a third variety of heavy water in which 18O is used instead of 16O. This variety is 3H2 18O. Used in the production of positrons for medical use.]
Why is heavy water used for heat transfer in nuclear reactor?
Heavy water has the same heat transfer properties as ordinary water, at least in practical terms. It is used in some reactors as the moderator since it is much more efficient at slowing fast neutrons than ordinary water, thus enabling unenriched uranium to be used as the fuel. It is not used to transfer heat to the power producing part of the plant, only as a static tank (called a calandria) full of heavy water as moderator. (See CANDU)
How much is litter of water in cups?
One cusec water is equal to 28.317 ltrs of water per second
How much does heavy water cost?
Roughly $600 per liter.
What was heavy water?
Heavy water is water with the chemical formula of D2O or deuterium oxide. This water is composed of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, which is heavier and less stable than hydrogen. It has quite similar physical and chemical properties to those of H2O. The dielectric constant of D2O is lower than that of H2O and rate of reactions are much slower than H2O. It is used as a moderator in nuclear reactions, as trace compound for studying a reaction mechanism, for the preparation of deuterium.

How much water can be pumped into a human until they die?
monthly one litter
How much energy did ultra dense deuterium give off when it unzips it one billion joules per kilogram?
Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen. It isn't clear what you mean by "ultra-dense deuterium". In theory, deuterium can release huge amounts of energy, via nuclear fusion.
How much is litter of water in cups?
One cusec water is equal to 28.317 ltrs of water per second
Fusion is the ultimate solution to your energy problem why?
Fusion releases a lot amount of energy, much more than the traditional methods of obtaining energy, most of which are polluting and non-renewable. Thus, fusion is the ultimate solution to our energy problem. A2: If fusion can be made to work, it will use deuterium (heavy water) which can be extracted from natural water and therefore is an almost inexhaustible source.
How much does heavy water cost?
Roughly $600 per liter.
