Does the hydrolysis of xef6 leads to a Redox reaction
The products of hydrolysis are XeOF4 and XeO2 F2 where the oxidation states of all the elements remain the same as it was in the reacting state.
XeF6 + H2O --->XeOF4 +2HF
XeO+ H2O ---> XeO2F2 +2HF
XeO2F2 + H2O----> XeO3 +2HF
Thus oxidation state is same +6
Hence the XeF6 does not show redox reaction.
