It is unfeasible for which of the following reactions of Xenon compounds to take place?
Options
- AXeO 3 + 6 HF → XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O
- B6 XeF 4 + 12 H 2 O → 4 Xe + 2 XeO 3 + 3 O 2 + 24 HF
- C2 XeF 2 +   2 H 2 O → 2 Xe   +   4 HF   +   O 2
- D  XeF 4   +   RbF   → Rb XeF 5
Correct answer
A. XeO 3 + 6 HF → XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O
Step-by-step solution
XeO 3 + 6 HF → XeF 6 + 3 H 2 O This reaction is not feasible because reverse reactions are not possible under normal conditions. 6 XeF 4 + 12 H 2 O → 4 Xe + 2 XeO 3 + 3 O 2 + 24 HF This is a feasible reaction. 2 XeF 2 +   2 H 2 O → 2 Xe   +   4 HF   +   O 2 This is also a feasible reaction.   XeF 4   +   RbF   → Rb XeF 5 This is also a feasible reaction.
