Which one of the following reactions of Xenon compounds is not feasible?
Options
- AXeO 3 + 6HF ⟶ XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O
- B3 XeF 4 + 6H 2 O ⟶ 2Xe + XeO 3 + 12HF + 1.5 O 2
- C2 XeF 2 + 2H 2 O ⟶ 2Xe + 4HF + O 2
- DXeF 6 + RbF ⟶ Rb [ XeF 7 ]
Correct answer
A. XeO 3 + 6HF ⟶ XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
The reaction XeO 3 + 6HF ⟶ XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O is not feasible because XeF 6 formed will further produce XeO 3 by getting hydrolysed. XeF 6 + H 2 O → XeOF 4 + 2HF XeOF 4 + H 2 O → XeO 2 F 2 + 2HF XeO 2 F 2 + H 2 O → XeO 3 + 2HF
