The reaction of $Xe$ and $O _2 F _2$ gives a Xe compound $P$. The number of moles of HF produced by the complete hydrolysis of $1 \,mol$ of $P$ is ______
Correct Answer: 4
Approach Solution - 1
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the reaction and the hydrolysis of the given compound to determine the number of moles of HF produced.
1. Analyzing the Reaction:
From the reaction between \( \text{Xe} \) and \( \text{O}_2\text{F}_2 \), a xenon compound \( P \) is formed. The xenon compound formed is likely to be xenon tetrafluoride (XeF₄), as this is a common product in such reactions involving xenon and oxygen difluoride. The reaction can be represented as follows:
\[ \text{Xe} + \text{O}_2\text{F}_2 \rightarrow \text{XeF}_4 + \text{O}_2 \]
2. Hydrolysis of Xenon Tetrafluoride (XeF₄):
When xenon tetrafluoride (\( \text{XeF}_4 \)) undergoes complete hydrolysis, it reacts with water to produce xenon dioxide (XeO₂) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). The reaction for the hydrolysis of 1 mole of xenon tetrafluoride is:
\[ \text{XeF}_4 + 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{XeO}_2 + 4\text{HF} \]
3. Conclusion:
For each mole of xenon tetrafluoride (\( \text{XeF}_4 \)) hydrolyzed, 4 moles of hydrofluoric acid (HF) are produced.
Final Answer:
The number of moles of HF produced by the complete hydrolysis of 1 mole of \( P \) (which is \( \text{XeF}_4 \)) is 4.
Approach Solution -2
\(\text{Xe} + 2\text{O}_2 + \text{F}_2 \rightarrow \text{XeF}_4 + 2\text{O}_2\)
\(3\text{XeF}_4 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{Xe} + \text{XeO}_3 + \frac{23}{2}\text{O}_2 + 12\text{HF}\)
∴ One mole of \(\text{XeF}_4\) gives 4 moles of HF on hydrolysis.

P-Block Elements
- P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
- P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.
P block elements consist of:
- Group 13 Elements: Boron family
- Group 14 Elements: Carbon family
- Group 15 Elements: Nitrogen family
- Group 16 Elements: Oxygen family
- Group 17 Elements: Fluorine family
- Group 18 Elements: Neon family
