Question

Xenon trioxide X e O 3 forms xenate ion in alkaline medium. X e O 3 + N a O H → N a H X e O 4 But the xenate ions slowly disproportionate in alkaline solution as N a H X e O 4 + N a O H → Z + X e + O 2 + H 2 O The compound Z is expected to be, N a 2 X e O 3, N a 2 X e O 4, N a 4 X e O 6, N a 4 X e O 4

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The disproportionation of xenate ions in alkaline solution is according to the reaction. N a H X e O 4 + N a O H → N a 4 X e O 6 + X e + O 2 + H 2 O
