Question

Observe the following statements:

1. Heavy water is harmful to the growth of animals.
2. Heavy water reacts with ${Al}_4{C}_3$ and forms deuterated acetylene.
3. $Ba{Cl}_2.2D_{2}O$ is an example of interstitial deuterate.

The correct statements are:

• A. 1 and 3
• B. 1 and 2
• C. 1, 2 and 3
• D. 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 3

The correct statements are 1 and 3
1. Heavy water is harmful for the growth of animals. It is slightly injurious to some of the living organisms.

2. Heavy water reacts with ${Al}_4{Cl}_3$ and forms deuterated methane

${Al}_4{Cl}_3+12D_{2}O\to 3C{D}_4+4Al(OD{)}_3$

3. $Ba{Cl}_2.2D_{2}O$ is an example of interstitial deuterate.
