Question

Which one of the following reactions of xenon compounds
is not feasible?
(a) 3XeF₄ + 6H₂O → 2Xe + XeO₃ +12HF +1.5O₂
(b) 2XeF₂ + 2H₂O → 2Xe + 4HF + O₂
(c) XeF₆ +RbF → Rb[XeF₇ ]
(d) XeO₃ + 6HF→ XeF₆ + 3H₂O

Answer 1

Answer:

without temperature condition

without entropy and gibbs free energy or reduction potential

it is not possible to predict the feasebility of reaction

but conditions are not given

in option d hydrolysis of xef6 is written in revere and xenon compounds easily hydrolised so reverse is not true

final answer is D

Answer 2

XeO₃ + 6HF→ XeF₆ + 3H₂O this reaction isn't fesable.

Explanation:

• Xenon is an inert gas that belongs to group 18 of the periodic table.

• It has a complete octet in its outer shell which is a very stable electronic configuration.

• Show the members of group 18 are often called as inert gases.

• But is there period increases the size of the atoms of inert gases also increases because of addition of newer shells to the atom.

• This results in the loose attraction of electrons of the outer shell by the nucleus.

• Thus strongly electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen can form compounds with xenon.

• But oxygen having more electron affinity than fluorine can form compounds with xenon more easily.

• The reaction given in option 4 is reverse reaction for hydrolysis of xenon fluoride.

• Xenon fluoride reacts with water to form hydrofluoric acid and xenon oxide.

• But in cases of normal temperature and pressure the reverse reaction is not feasible because of positive Gibbs free energy and other factors.
