Complete hydrolysis of XeF4 and XeF6 results in the formation of XeO3.
6XeF4 + 12 H2O → 2XeO3 + 4Xe + 3O2 + 24HF
XeF6 + 3H2O → XeO3 + 6HF
6XeF4 + 12 H2O → 2XeO3 + 4Xe + 3O2 + 24HF
XeF6 + 3H2O → XeO3 + 6HF

When XeF6 is undergoes complete hydrolysis, the following reaction takes place
XeF6 + 3H2O ---> XeO3 + 6HF
The main product formed is Xenon trioxide (XeO3). It is highly explosive and acts as an power oxidising agent in aqueous solution. Another product formed is hydrogen fluoride (HF) which is not recognized much in this reaction.
