Hydrolysis of `XeF_(6)` is not a redox reaction-explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Complete hydrolysis of `XeF_(6)` produces `XeO_(3)`
`overset(+6)Xeoverset(-1)F_(6)+3overset(+1)H_(2)overset(-2)Otooverset(+6)Xeoverset(-2)O_(3)+6overset(+1)Hoverset(-1)F`
`XeF_(6)` , on partial hydrolysis produces `XeOF_(4)` and `XeO_(2)F_(2)`.
`overset(+6)Xeoverset(-1)F_(6)+overset(+1)H_(2)overset(-2)Otooverset(+6)Xeoverset(-2)Ooverset(+-1)F_(4)+2overset(+1)Hoverset(-1)F` ,
`overset(+6)Xeoverset(-1)F_(6)+2overset(+1)H_(2)overset(+-2)Otooverset(+6)Xeoverset(-2)O_(2)overset(-1)F_(2)+4overset(+1)Hoverset(-1)F`
Since oxidation states of all the elements in the reactants and products remain unchanged, it is not a redox reaction.
