Q48 / 180 · AIIMS 2007 · Chemistry

\(\mathrm{XeF}_6\) on complete hydrolysis produces

  • A
    \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\)
  • B
    \(\mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2\)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \(\mathrm{XeO}_3\)
  • D
    \(\mathrm{XeO}_2\).

Solution

\(\mathrm{XeF}_{6(s)}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text { highly } \\ \text { explosive }}}{\mathrm{XeO}_{3(s)}}+6 \mathrm{HF}_{(a q)}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
