Question

Which of the following statements is not correct?

• A. The first ionization enthalpy of molecular oxygen is almost identical with that of xenon
• B. Chlorine with excess ammonia gives nitrogen as one of the products
• C. \(\mathrm{XeF_6}\) on complete hydrolysis gives Xe, HF and \(\mathrm{O_2}\)
• D. The oxidizing agent used in Deacon's process is atmospheric oxygen

Hint:

Complete hydrolysis of xenon hexafluoride is \[ \boxed{ \mathrm{XeF_6+3H_2O\rightarrow XeO_3+6HF} } \] The product is xenon trioxide, not elemental xenon.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
