The difference in the oxidation state of Xe between the oxidised...

The difference in the oxidation state of XeXe between the oxidised product of XeXe formed on complete hydrolysis of XeF4{XeF}_{4}and XeF4{XeF}_{4} is

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

Hydrolysis of XeF4{XeF}_{4} will give XeO3{XeO}_{3}. This hydrolysis reaction is a redox reaction. This redox reaction is an example of disproportionation reaction.

6XeF4+12H2O→4Xe+2XeO3+24HF+3O26{XeF}_{4} + 12{H}_{2}O\overset{}{\to}4Xe + 2{XeO}_{3} + 24HF + 3{O}_{2}

The oxidation states of Xenon in the reactant and product is

XeO3:Xe(+6){XeO}_{3}: Xe ( + 6 )

XeF4:Xe(+4){XeF}_{4}: Xe ( + 4 )

Hence, the difference in oxidation state is 22.
