Identify the incorrect statement regarding heavy water:

Options

  1. AIt reacts with S O 3 to form deuterated sulphuric acid D 2 S O 4 .
  2. BIt is used as a coolant in nuclear reactors.
  3. CIt reacts with C a C 2 to produce C 2 D 2 and C a O D 2 .
  4. DIt reacts with A l 4 C 3 to produce C D 4 and A l O D 3 .

Correct answer

B. It is used as a coolant in nuclear reactors.

Step-by-step solution

Heavy water is used in moderator section of nuclear reactors to control the speed of neutrons due to its high moderating ratio, or it may be used for the preparation of deuterium.
