Question

The reason for not strong XeF6 in a glass or a quartz vassel is that

Options

A.it forms an explosive having the formula XeO2F2
B.it forms an explosive having the formula XeOF4
C.it forms XeO2 which is explosive substance
D.it forms XeO64- which is explosive in nature

Solution

2XeF6 + SiO2 → 2XeOF4 + SiF4
          (glass)      (explosive nature)
2XeOF4 + SiO2 → 2XeO2F2 + SiF4
2XeO2F2 + SiO2 → 2XeO3 + SiF4
                                 (explosive)
