  1. Question 1

    Q1. To synthesize Xenon hexafluoride (XeF6), Xenon and Fluorine must be reacted at 300 degrees Celsius under high pressure in which specific ratio?

    • A) 1:1 ratio
    • B) 1:5 ratio
    • C) 1:20 ratio
    • D) 2:1 ratio

    Answer: 1:20 ratio

    Explanation: XeF6 requires a 1:20 ratio of Xe to F2; 1:1 or 1:5 ratios are tempting but produce XeF2 or XeF4.
