Question

Complete the following reactions by filling the appropriate choice.
(A) $6Xe{F}_4$ + $12H_{2}O$ $\to$ $4Xe$ + $2Xe{O}_3$ + ___(i)___ + ___(ii)___
(B) $Xe{F}_6$ + $3H_{2}O$ $\to$ ___(iii)___ + $6HF$

• A. (i) $F_2$, (ii) $H_{2}O$, (iii) $XeO{F}_4$
• B. (i) $24HF$, (ii) 3$O_2$, (iii) $Xe{O}_3$
• C. (i) $2HF$, (ii) 2$H_{2}O$, (iii) $XeO$
• D. (i) $HF$, (ii) $H_{2}O$, (iii) $X{e}_2{O}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B (i) $24HF$, (ii) 3$O_2$, (iii) $Xe{O}_3$

Balance chemical equation for the above two reactions are:

(A) $6Xe{F}_4+12H_{2}O⟶4Xe+2Xe{O}_3+24HF+3O_2$

(B) $Xe{F}_6+3H_{2}O⟶Xe{O}_3+6HF$

So, (i) $=24HF$; (ii) $=3O_2$ and (iii) $=Xe{O}_3$

So, the correct option is B.
