Question

XeF₆ is prepared by heating a mixture of Xe and F₂ in the ratio ______ at ______ K under a pressure of ______ atm.

Answer 1

XeF₆ is prepared by heating a mixture of Xe and F₂ in the ratio 1 : 20 at 500-575 K under a pressure of 50 atm.

Explanation:

Xenon hexafluoride (XeF₆) is prepared by heating xenon and fluorine in a 1 : 20 ratio at 500-575 K under 50 atmospheres pressure. These specific conditions help achieve complete fluorination of xenon, resulting in the most fluorinated xenon compound.
