Solution:

  1. $\left(\mathrm{CH}{3}\right){2} \mathrm{SiCl}{2}+\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow\left(\mathrm{CH}{3}\right){2} \mathrm{Si}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}+2 \mathrm{HCl}$

$3 \mathrm{XeF}{4}+6 \mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{XeO}{3}+2 \mathrm{Xe}+12 \mathrm{HF}+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{O}{2}$

$\mathrm{Cl}{2}+\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{HOCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{HCl}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

$\mathrm{VCl}{5}+\mathrm{H}{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{VOCl}_{3}+2 \mathrm{HCl}$
