Question

Xenon reacts with fluorine at 873 K and 7 bar to form $Xe{F}_4$. In this reaction the ratio of Xenon and fluorine required is :

• A. 1:5
• B. 10:1
• C. 1:3
• D. 5:1

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

1:5

Xenon reacts with fluorine at 873 K and $7$ bar to form $Xe{F}_4$. In this reaction, the ratio of Xenon and fluorine required is $1:5$

$Xe+2F_2\underset{7bar}{\overset{873K}{\to }}Xe{F}_4$

Hence, the option (A) is the correct answer.
