Solvolysis is nucleophilic substitution in which the nucleophile is the solvent itself; with water as solvent it is called hydrolysis. Covalent halides differ widely in their hydrolytic behaviour. Which of the following shows a disproportionation redox reaction on hydrolysis?
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
3XeF₄ + 6H₂O → 2Xe(0) + XeO₃(Xe +6) + 12HF + 3/2 O₂ - Xe(+4) is both reduced and oxidised: disproportionation. PCl₅ and BCl₃ hydrolyse without redox change; SF₆ resists hydrolysis.
