Question

Xenon fluorides are synthesized by direct reaction of Xe and $F_2$ under specific conditions. To exclusively produce Xenon hexafluoride ($XeF_6$), what ratio and conditions are required?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The synthesis of requires forcing the reaction with an overwhelming excess of Fluorine. The specific conditions are a 1:20 ratio of at 573 K under high pressure (60-70 bar).
