Question

X** on partial hydrolysis with water produces a compound x is a compound x is formed when hcl reacts with silica the compa

Answer 1

 XeF4 is the correct answer

Answer 2

i) ${ XeF }_{ 6 }$ on partial hydrolysis with water mainly yields ${ XeOF }_{ 4 }$ which on further hydrolysis yields ${ XeO }_{ 2 }{ F }_{ 2 }$,which on further hydrolysis yields ${ XeO }_{ 3 }.{ XeF }_{ 6 }$ on direct hydrolysis with water yields ${ XeO }_{ 3 }.$

The equations are given below,

${ XeF }_{ 6 }\quad +\quad { H }_{ 2 }O\quad \rightarrow \quad { XeOF }_{ 6 }\quad +\quad 2HF$

${ XeOF }_{ 4 }\quad +\quad { H }_{ 2 }O\quad \rightarrow \quad { XeO }_{ 2 }{ F }_{ 2 }\quad +\quad 2HF$

${ XeO }_{ 2 }{ F }_{ 2 }\quad +\quad { H }_{ 2 }O\quad \rightarrow \quad { XeO }_{ 3 }\quad +\quad 2HF$

$3{ XeF }_{ 6 }\quad +\quad 6{ H }_{ 2 }O\quad \rightarrow \quad 2{ XeO }_{ 3 }\quad +\quad Xe\quad +\quad 12HF$

ii) ${ XeF }_{ 6 }$ on partial hydrolysis with water mainly yields ${ XeOF }_{ 4 }$

When${ XeF }_{ 6 }$ reacts with ${ SiO }_{ 2 }$ yields ${ XeOF }_{ 4 }$

${ SiO }_{ 2 }\quad +\quad 2{ XeF }_{ 6 }\quad \rightarrow \quad 2{ XeOF }_{ 4 }\quad +\quad { SiF }_{ 4 }$
