TestHub · Accepted Answer

The compound 'X' formed by partial hydrolysis of XeF₆ and the reaction of XeF₆ with silica is XeOF₄.

Partial hydrolysis:

$X e F_{6} + H_{2} O \to X e O F_{4} + 2 H F$

Reaction with silica:

$2 X e F_{6} + S i O_{2} \to 2 X e O F_{4} + S i F_{4}$

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
