How are XeO3 and XeOF4 prepared?

Answer»
  • Preparation of XeO: Xenon trioxide (XeO3) is prepared by the hydrolysis of XeF4 or XeF6.
  • By hydrolysis of XeF4 : 3XeF4 + 6H20 → 2Xe + XeO3 + 12 HF + \(1\frac{1}{2}O_2\)
  • By hydrolysis of XeF6 : XeF6 + 3H2O → XeO3 + 6HF
  • Preparation of XeOF4 : Xenon oxytetrafluoride (XeOF4) is prepared by the partial hydrolysis of XeF6.

XeF6 + H2O → XeOF4 + 2HF
