JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3ph213

Select the correct statement(s) about the hydrolysis of xenon fluorides.

A $2 XeF X_{2} + 2 H X_{2} O 2 Xe + 4 HF + O X_{2}$
B $XeF X_{4}$ on hydrolysis gives $Xe$ and $XeO X_{3}$ among the products
CPartial hydrolysis of $XeF X_{6}$ gives $XeOF X_{4}$
DComplete hydrolysis of $XeF X_{6}$ gives $XeO X_{4}$

Answer: A, B, C

XeF X_{2}

is reduced to Xe with oxygen evolved,

XeF X_{4}

disproportionates to Xe and

XeO X_{3}

, and

XeF X_{6} + H X_{2} O XeOF X_{4} + 2 HF

. Complete hydrolysis of

XeF X_{6}

gives

XeO X_{3}

with Xe remaining in the

+ 6

state, so

XeO X_{4}

(

+ 8

) does not form. Options 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
