JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3ph140

Which of the following equations are correct?

A $XeF X_{6} + 3 H X_{2} O XeO X_{3} + 6 HF$
B $XeF X_{6} + 2 H X_{2} O XeOF X_{4} + 4 HF$
C $2 XeF X_{2} + 2 H X_{2} O 2 Xe + 4 HF + O X_{2}$
D $6 XeF X_{4} + 12 H X_{2} O 4 Xe + 2 XeO X_{3} + 24 HF + 3 O X_{2}$

Answer: A, C, D

Options 1, 3 and 4 are balanced and correct. The second is wrong: with 2

H X_{2} O

the product is

XeO X_{2} F X_{2}

(

XeF X_{6} + 2 H X_{2} O XeO X_{2} F X_{2} + 4 HF

), while

XeOF X_{4}

forms with one

H X_{2} O

and 2 HF.
