Question
How can $\text{D}_2\text{O}$ be prepared from water? Mention the physical properties in which $\text{D}_2\text{O}$ differs from $\text{H}_2\text{O}$. Give at least three reactions of $\text{D}_2\text{O}$ showing the exchange of hydrogen with deuterium.

Answer

For preparation of heavy water, there is exhaustive distillation of ordinary water. It is a multistep distillation process. Physical properties
