All three of the Xenon fluorides undergo hydrolysis

Question

All three of the Xenon fluorides undergo hydrolysis – True or False?

Options:

A . True

B . False

C . A mixture of both XeO3 and XeO4 is obtained

D . No reaction

Answer: Option A
:
A
True.

2 X e F_{2} (s) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to 2 X e (g) + O_{2} (g) + 4 H F (l)

6 X e F_{4} (s) + 12 H_{2} O (l) \to 4 X e (g) + 3 O_{2} (g) + 2 X e O_{3} (s) + 24 H F (l)

X e F_{6} (s) + 3 H_{2} O (l) \to X e O_{3} (s) + 6 H F (l)

Hydrolysis of

X e F_{6}

is a multi-step process. Initially Xenon oxide tetrafluoride –

X e F_{4}

is formed.

X e F_{6} (s) + H_{2} O (l) \to X e O F_{4} (l) + 2 H F (l)

Followed by

X e O F_{4} (l) + 2 H_{2} O (l) \to X e O_{3} (s) + 4 H F (l)
