    Heavy water is obtained by:

    A) Boiling water

    B) Heating \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) Prolonged electrolysis of \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    D) Fractional distillation of \[{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Prolonged electrolysis of\[~{{H}_{2}}O\] This method is based upon the principle that when ordinary water is electrolysed, protium is liberated much more readily than deuterium \[({{D}_{2}})\]because Being smaller in size H+ ions have greater mobility. Hydrogen atoms combine much more rapidly to form molecular hydrogen than do deuterium atoms to form \[{{D}_{2}}\]
