Heavy water ( deuterium oxide , 2 H 2 O , D 2 O ) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (= heavy hydrogen = 2 H = D), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope ( 1 H = H = protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.

Thermodynamic properties of heavy water - D 2 O:

  • Boiling temperature (at 101.325 kPa):     101.40 o C = 214.52 °F
  • Bulk modulus elasticity (at 25°C):              2.10 x 10 9 Pa or N/m 2
  • Critical density:                                         0.356 g/cm 3 = 0.691 slug/ft 3 = 3.457 lb m /gal(US)
  • Critical pressure :                                      213.88 atm = 220.98 bar = 21.671 MPa (MN/m 2 ) = 3143 psi (=lb f /in 2 )
  • Critical temperature :                                 370.697 o C = 699.255 °F
  • Ionization constant , pK w (at 25°C):          14.951
  • Latent heat of evaporation (at 101.4°C):  41.521 KJ/mol = 2073.20 kJ/kg = 891.32 Btu(IT)/lb
  • Latent heat of fusion:                               6.132 kJ/mol = 306.2 kJ/kg = 131.64 Btu(IT)/lb
  • Maximum density (at 11.23 o C):               1105.9 kg/m 3 = 2.1460 slug/ft 3 = 10.74048 lb m /gal(US)
  • Melting temperature (at 101.325 kPa):     3.81 o C = 38.86 °F
  • Molar mass:                                              20.02751 g/mol
  • pD (~pH) (at 25°C):                                  7.43
  • Specific heat (C p ) water (at 20°C):           4.219 kJ/kgK = 1.008 Btu(IT)/(lb m °F) or kcal/(kg K)
  • Specific weight (at 11.23 o C):                   10.8452 kN/m 3 = 69.0391 lb f /ft 3
  • Surface tension (at 25°C):                       71.87 dyn/cm
  • Triple point pressure:                               0.00652 atm = 0.00661 bar = 661 Pa = 0.0959 psi (=lb f /in 2 )
  • Triple point temperature:                          3.82 °C = 38.88 °F
  • Vapor pressure (at 25°C):                        20.6 mmHg = 0.027 atm = 0.028 bar = 2750 Pa = 0.398 psi
  • Viscosity (at 20°C):                                   1.251 cP or mPa s
