NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ph176

Complete hydrolysis of $XeF X_{6}$ gives

A $XeO X_{4}$ and $HF$
B $Xe$ , $O X_{2}$ and $HF$
C $XeO X_{3}$ and $HF$
D $XeOF X_{4}$ and $HF$

Answer: C

XeF X_{6} + 3 H X_{2} O XeO X_{3} + 6 HF

, and Xe stays in the

+ 6

state. Partial hydrolysis gives

XeOF X_{4}

instead.
