Question

XeF2 and XeF6 are separately hydrolysed then (A) both give out O2 (B) XeF6 gives O2 and XeF2 does not (C) XeF2 alone gives O2 (D) Neither of them gives HF

On separate hydrolysis of XeF2 and XeF6 the products formed are as follows XeF2+H2O oversetR . T . arrow Xe+2HF+(1/2)O2 uparrow XeF6+3H2O oversetR . T . arrow XeO3+6HF

Q. $X e F_{2}$ and $X e F_{6}$ are separately hydrolysed then

both give out $O_{2}$

$X e F_{6}$ gives $O_{2}$ and $X e F_{2}$ does not

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

Neither of them gives HF

On separate hydrolysis of $X e F_{2}$ and $X e F_{6}$ the products formed are as follows

$X e F_{2} + H_{2} O \to R . T . X e + 2 H F + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} ↑$

$X e F_{6} + 3 H_{2} O \to R . T . X e O_{3} + 6 H F$

Q. XeF2​ and XeF6​ are separately hydrolysed then

both give out O2​

XeF6​ gives O2​ and XeF2​ does not

XeF2​ alone gives O2​
