Heavy water is manufactured through processes such as the Girdler sulfide process or electrolysis, where regular water (H₂O) is converted to deuterium oxide (D₂O) by separating the heavier isotope of hydrogen, deuterium. Super heavy water refers to water that contains tritium (T₂O), a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, making it even heavier than heavy water. Both types are used in nuclear reactors and research applications, with heavy water being a key moderator in certain types of reactors.

What is heavy water and why did Hitler want some?

Heavy water is water with some gases extracted.if you put it in a barrel and put the barrel in water the barrel would sink.Theonly reason Hitler wanted heavy water was because heavy water is used in atomic bombs.the only place he could get the heavy water was Norway. fortunately the Brit's blew up the only cargo ship carrying the heavy water back to Germany...some heavy water is lost in a lake somewhere in norway...lost in time forever.


When the Germans were trying to get the heavy water were they trying to get it from an ocean or what?

Heavy water occurs naturally in all water in a proportion of about one part in twenty million. In order to get a certain amount of heavcy water you have to isolate the heavy molecules out of a large quantity of water. The Germans used fresh water because there would have been no point in having to desalinize before they could even begin isolating the heavy water from the regular water. Heavy water is heavy because one of the hydrogen atoms in the water molecule has a neutron in its nucleus along with the proton.


How do you separate heavy water?

Heavy water can be separated from regular water through a process called fractional distillation. This method takes advantage of the slightly different boiling points of the two types of water due to the presence of deuterium in heavy water. By heating the mixture and collecting the vapor at the right temperature, heavy water can be obtained.


Is the cyclotron used to create super heavy elements?

No, cyclotrons are not typically used to create super heavy elements. Super heavy elements are usually synthesized using particle accelerators like linear accelerators or heavy-ion accelerators. Cyclotrons are more commonly used for producing radioisotopes for medical imaging and research purposes.
