7.33 How are xenon fluorides XeF2, XeF4 and XeF6 obtained?
XeF2, XeF4 and XeF6 are obtained by a direct reaction between Xe and F2. The condition under which the reaction is carried out determines the product.
Xe(g) + F2(g) XeF2(s)
(Excess)
Xe(g)+2F2(g) XeF4(s)
(1:5 ratio)
Xe(g) + 3F2(g) XeF6 (s)
(1:20 ratio)
