Does the hydrolysis of XeFe lead to a redox reaction?Example 722No, the products of hydrolysis are XeOF, and XeO,F2 where the oxidation Solutiostates of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state. |
Answer» The products of hydrolysis are XeOF4and XeO2F2where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state.XeF6+ H2O --->XeOF4+2HFXeO+ H2O ---> XeO2F2+2HFXeO2F2+ H2O----> XeO3+2HF Thus oxidation state is same +6Hence the XeF6does not show redox reaction |
