Question
Xenon hexafluoride on partial hydrolysis produces compounds ' X ' and ' Y '. Compounds ' X ', 'Y' and the oxidation state of Xe are respectively:
Solution
The partial hydrolysis of Xenon hexafluoride (XeF6) produces Xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) and Hydrofluoric acid (HF). So, compound 'X' is XeF4 and compound 'Y' is HF. The oxidation state of Xenon (Xe) in XeF4 is +4. Therefore, the compounds 'X', 'Y' and the oxidation state of Xe are respectively XeF4, HF, and +4.
