Why does the following reaction occur?What conclusion about the compound Na,XeOs (of which XeO is a part) can bedrawn from the reaction.

Answer»

Given, Reaction:

XeO6(4-) (aq) + 2F– (aq) + 6H+(aq)→XeO3(g) + F2(g) + 3H2O(l)

In this reaction, we can conclude that the ON of Xe decreases from + 8 of XeO6(4-) to form + 6 of XeO3.

The ON of F also increases from -1 of F- to form 0 in F2.

So, we can say that Na4XeO6 is stronger oxidizing agent as compared to F.

thanks
