Solution

All Xe fluorides are extremely strong oxidising agents. They are easily reduced to Xe by hydrogen.
$X e F_{2} + H_{2} \to 2 H F + X e$
$X e F_{4} + H_{2} \to 4 H F + X e$
$X e F_{6} + H_{2} \to 6 H F + X e$

They oxidise $C l^{-}$ to chlorine and $I^{-}$ to iodides.
For example:
$X e F_{2} + 2 H C l \to 2 H F + C l_{2} + X e$
$X e F_{4} + 4 K l \to 2 K F + 2 I_{2} + X e$
