(B) obtained as a by-product in fertilizer industry
(C) used for the study of reaction mechanism
(D) has a higher dielectric constant than water
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
Heavy water (D<sub>2</sub>O) is obtained as a by-product in
the fertilizer industry. It is used as a moderator in
nuclear reactors and for the study of the reaction
mechanisms. Its dielectric constant is lower than that
of H<sub>2</sub>O.
