Question

The compound that attacks pyrex glass is (A) XeF2 (B) XeF4 (C) XeF6 (D) None

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

XeF6 can be sublimed at room temperature it is more susceptible to hydrolysis XeF6 melt to give yellow liquid, since it attacks pyrex glass because silica react with XeF6. 2 XeF6 + 3SiO2 arrow 3SiF4 + 2XeO3

Q. The compound that attacks pyrex glass is

$X e F_{2}$

$X e F_{4}$

$X e F_{6}$

None

$X e F_{6}$ can be sublimed at room temperature it is more susceptible to hydrolysis $X e F_{6}$ melt to give yellow liquid, since it attacks pyrex glass because silica react with $X e F_{6}$ .
$2 X e F_{6} + 3 S i O_{2} \to 3 S i F_{4} + 2 X e O_{3}$
