Hydrolysis of XeF4 and XeF6 with water gives various products but the common product is XeO3, which is an explosive. 6XeF4 + 12H2O arrow 2XeO3 + 24HF + 4Xe + 3O2 XeF6 + 3H2O arrow XeO3 + 6HF.

Q. Hydrolysis of $X e F_{4}$ and $X e F_{6}$ with water gives

$X e O F_{4}$

$X e O_{2} F_{2}$

$X e O_{3}$

$X e O F_{2}$

Hydrolysis of $X e F_{4}$ and $X e F_{6}$ with water gives various products but the common product is $X e O_{3}$ , which is an explosive.
$6 X e F_{4} + 12 H_{2} O \to 2 X e O_{3} + 24 H F$
$+ 4 X e + 3 O_{2}$
$X e F_{6} + 3 H_{2} O \to X e O_{3} + 6 H F$ .
