Question -All three of the Xenon fluorides undergo hydrolysis – True or False?
Options:
A .  True
B .  False
C .  A mixture of both XeO3 and XeO4 is obtained
D .  No reaction
Answer: Option A : A True. 2XeF2(s)+2H2O(l)→2Xe(g)+O2(g)+4HF(l) 6XeF4(s)+12H2O(l)→4Xe(g)+3O2(g)+2XeO3(s)+24HF(l) XeF6(s)+3H2O(l)→XeO3(s)+6HF(l) Hydrolysis of XeF6 is a multi-step process. Initially Xenon oxide tetrafluoride – XeF4 is formed. XeF6(s)+H2O(l)→XeOF4(l)+2HF(l) Followed by XeOF4(l)+2H2O(l)→XeO3(s)+4HF(l)
