Xenon fluorides show a variety of reactions with water and hydrogen. Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists :

List-I

List-II

(P) XeF₂ + H₂O →

(1) Disproportionation

(Q) XeF₄ + H₂O →

(2) No change in oxidation state of Xe

(R) XeF₆ + excess H₂O →

(3) At least one gaseous product is formed

(S) XeF₂ + H₂ →

(4) HF is one of the products

 

(5) Redox reaction

The correct option is :

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

(P) 2XeF₂ + 2H₂O → 2Xe↑ + 4HF + O₂↑ : redox (Xe +2 → 0, O −2 → 0), gases, HF → 3,4,5. (Q) 3XeF₄ + 6H₂O → 2Xe↑ + XeO₃ + 12HF + 3/2O₂↑ : disproportionation (+4 → 0 and +6), redox, gases, HF → 1,3,4,5. (R) XeF₆ + 3H₂O → XeO₃ + 6HF : Xe stays +6, no gas → 2,4. (S) XeF₂ + H₂ → Xe↑ + 2HF : redox, gas, HF → 3,4,5.
