Xenon hexafluoride on partial hydrolysis produces compounds 'X' and 'Y' and the respective oxidation states of Xe are:

Options

A ${XeOF}_{2} ( + 4 ) and{XeO}_{3} ( + 6 )$
B ${XeOF}_{4}\left(+ 6\right)and{XeO}_{3} ( + 6 )$
C ${XeO}_{2}{F}_{2} ( + 6 ) and{XeO}_{2} ( + 4 )$
D ${XeOF}_{4} ( + 6 ) and{XeO}_{2}{F}_{2} ( + 6 )$

Correct answer

D. ${XeOF}_{4} ( + 6 ) and{XeO}_{2}{F}_{2} ( + 6 )$

Step-by-step solution

Xenon hexafluoride on partial hydrolysis produces compounds ${XeOF}_{4}$ and ${XeO}_{2}{F}_{2}$ . In the compounds, ${XeOF}_{4}$ and ${XeO}_{2}{F}_{2}$ , the oxidation states of Xe are +6 and +6 respectively.

${XeF}_{6} + {H}_{2}O \to {XeOF}_{4} + 2HF$

${XeOF}_{4} + {H}_{2}O \to {XeO}_{2}{F}_{2} + 2HF$

Xenon hexafluoride on partial hydrolysis produces compounds 'X' and 'Y' and the respective oxidation states of Xe are:
