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.

The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $.

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
