A:

I've heard two explanations for this, and I can't remember which one is correct: one is that that because a molecule of D2O is heavier than a molecule of H2O, it takes more energy, i.e. higher temperature, to boil. The other is that there are stronger Hydrogen bonds in D2O compared to H2O.

I'll look into it.
