Correct Answer: burning Deuterium in oxygen


Solution : The correct option is the burning of deuterium in oxygen .

Heavy water, or deuterium oxide (D 2 O), is produced by burning deuterium in oxygen. Burning deuterium (a heavy isotope of hydrogen) in oxygen-containing air can result in the production of heavy water (D 2 O) . The chemical process for deuterium combustion in the presence of oxygen may be expressed as 2D 2 + O 2 → 2D 2 O .
