Solution
The correct options are A B Let us recall the hydrolysis reactions can we? 2XeF2(s)+2H2O(l)→2Xe(g)+O2(g)+4HF(l) The above reaction easily disqualifies option c and d. 6XeF4(s)+12H2O(l)→4Xe(g)+3O2(g)+2XeO3(s)+24HF(l) XeF6(S)+3H2O(l)→XeO3(s)+6HF(l) Hydrolysis of XeF6 is a multi-step process. Initially Xenon oxide tetrafluoride – XeOF4 is formed. XeF6(s)+H2O(l)→XeOF4(l)+2HF(l) Followed by XeOF4(l)+2H2O(l)→XeO3(s)+4HF(l)
