JEE Main Solved Paper 2017 Question 18
Question: Which of the following reactions is an example of a redox reaction? [JEE Main Solved Paper-2017]
Options:
A) $ XeF _4+O _2F _2\to XeF _6+O _2 $
B) $ XeF _2+PF _5\to {{[XeF]}^{+}}PF _6^{-} $
C) $ XeF _6+H _2O\to XeOF _4+2HF $
D) $ XeF _6+2H _2O\to XeO _2F _2+4HF $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- In the reaction $ \overset{+4}{\mathop{X}},eF _4+{{\overset{+1}{\mathop{O}},}_2}F _2\to \overset{+6}{\mathop{X}},eF _6+O_2^{0} $ Xenon undergoes oxidation while oxygen undergoes reduction.
