Heavy water is also clear, where normal water has a very slight blue colour. You'd notice it in a swimming pool of it, but not a glass. https://i.stack.imgur.c

- eganist 7y agoInteresting; it's as if the band was stretched out. Would the same presumably happen for Tritium?
- repsilat 7y agoApparently colourless too: https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/31587/are-there-any-known-chemical-properties-of-tritium-water-that-make-it-unusually https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/31587/are-ther... Some other neat things I found along the way, mostly on Wikipedia: heavy waters freeze at 4-5 degrees Celsius, the heavier the higher. Frozen heavy water will sink in liquid normal water, and pure "tritiated water" ("super-heavy" water, with tritium hydrogen isotopes) is radioactive and will boil itself if pure enough.
