Detailed Solution

Heavy water is D2O and ordinary water is H2O respectively.

0.01 mL of water =0.01 g

Molar mass of D2O=2 g

Now, 6000 g of H2O=1 g of D2O

1 g of H2O=1/6000 gofD2O

So, 0.01 g of H2O=1/6000×0.01=0.16×10-5 g of D2O

Now,

No. of moles of D2O= given mass/molar mass

=0.16×10-5/20=0.008×10-5

1 mol. of D2O=6.022×1023

0.008×10-5 moles contains =6.022×1023×0.008×10-5                                  =4.8×1016 or5×1016

Therefore, option (C) is correct.
