The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding the hydrolysis of \( \text{XeF}_6 \), we will break down the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Write the hydrolysis reaction of \( \text{XeF}_6 \) The hydrolysis of \( \text{XeF}_6 \) can be represented as: \[ \text{XeF}_6 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{XeOF}_4 + \text{XeO}_3 + \text{HF} \] This reaction shows that \( \text{XeF}_6 \) reacts with water to produce several products. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation states of xenon in reactants and products 1. In \( \text{XeF}_6 \): - The oxidation state of xenon (Xe) is +6. This is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Oxidation state of Xe} + 6 \times (-1) = 0 \implies \text{Oxidation state of Xe} = +6 \] 2. In \( \text{XeOF}_4 \): - The oxidation state of xenon is also +6. This can be calculated as: \[ \text{Oxidation state of Xe} + (-2) + 4 \times (-1) = 0 \implies \text{Oxidation state of Xe} = +6 \] 3. In \( \text{XeO}_3 \): - The oxidation state of xenon is again +6. This can be calculated as: \[ \text{Oxidation state of Xe} + 3 \times (-2) = 0 \implies \text{Oxidation state of Xe} = +6 \] ### Step 3: Analyze the oxidation states From the calculations: - The oxidation state of xenon in \( \text{XeF}_6 \) is +6. - The oxidation states of xenon in both \( \text{XeOF}_4 \) and \( \text{XeO}_3 \) are also +6. ### Step 4: Conclusion on redox reaction Since the oxidation state of xenon does not change during the reaction (it remains +6 throughout), we conclude that there is no oxidation or reduction occurring. Therefore, the hydrolysis of \( \text{XeF}_6 \) does not represent a redox reaction. ### Final Evaluation of Statements - **Statement 1**: False (the hydrolysis does not represent a redox reaction). - **Statement 2**: True (the oxidation states of all elements remain the same as in the reacting state). ### Final Answer Thus, the correct answer is: - Statement 1 is false. - Statement 2 is true.
