Question
The Xenon Fluorides are very effective and clean Fluorinating agents. They also behave as good reducing agents – True or False?
Answer: Option B
:
B
Xenon Fluorides are clean fluorinating agents because usually they yield the fluorinated product and Xe gas. The required product can then easily be separated from Xe gas. In the following reaction,
XeF2(s)+H2C=CH2(g)→Xe(g)+H2CF−FCH2(g)
XeF2 is reduced to Xe (g). Definitely Xenon fluorides are not reducing agents. On the contrary, they behave as oxidizing agents. For example,
XeF4(s)+2SF4(g)→Xe(g)+2SF6(g)
