XeF 6 on partial hydrolysis with water, produces a compound X . The same compound X is formed when XeF 6 reacts with silica. The compound X is:
Options
- AXeF 4
- BXeF 2
- CXeO 3
- DXeOF 4
Correct answer
D. XeOF 4
Step-by-step solution
During the hydrolysis the oxidation of xenon not changes in xenon hexafluoride. XeF 6 + H 2 O → XeOF 4 + 2 HF                                                         X   SiO 2 + 2 XeF 6 → 2 XeOF 4 + SiF 4                           &
