Xenon reacts with fluorine at \(873 \mathrm{~K}\) and 7 bar to form \(\mathrm{XeF}_4\). In this reaction, the ratio of xenon and fluorine required is

  1. A \(1: 5\)
  2. B \(10: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 3\)
  4. D \(5: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{XeF}_4\) is obtained by heating a mixture of xenon and fluorine in the molar ratio of \(1: 5\) at \(873 \mathrm{~K}\) and 7 bar pressure in an enclosed nickel vessel for a few hours. The reaction proceeds as…
