When the interhalogen compound undergoes complete hydrolysis with water, what are the primary produc — p Block Elements Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Interhalogen compounds of the type $XX'_7$ undergo hydrolysis to form the perhalate oxoacid of the larger halogen and the hydrohalic acid of the smaller halogen. Thus, $IF_7 + H_2O \rightarrow HIO_4 + HF$ (unbalanced).
