In which form deuterium exists in natural water?(a) HD(b) D2O(c) HDO(d) DThis question was posed to me during an online exam.My doubt stems from Inorganic Chemical in chapter Inorganic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (c) HDO

To explain I WOULD say: Deuterium exists in natural water as HDO and in hydrogen from petroleum sources as HD. The isotopic atom PERCENTAGE in both source type is 0.0143%. To produce 99+ % is a sizeable separation task.
