Does the hydrolysis of XeF6 lead to a redox reaction?
The products of hydrolysis are XeOF
4 and XeO
2 F
2 where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state.
XeF
6 + H
2O --->XeOF
4 +2HF
XeO+ H
2O ---> XeO
2F
2 +2HF
XeO
2F
2 + H
2O----> XeO
3 +2HF
Thus oxidation state is same +6
Hence the XeF6 does not show redox reaction.
