- \( \mathrm{NH}_3 + \mathrm{H}^+ \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_4^+ \)
- \( \mathrm{PCl}_3 + 3\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_3\mathrm{PO}_3 + 3\mathrm{HCl} \)
- \( \mathrm{NaNO}_3 + \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow \mathrm{NaHSO}_4 + \mathrm{HNO}_3 \)
- \( \mathrm{XeF}_6 + \mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{XeOF}_4 + 2\mathrm{HF} \)
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In the reaction involving \(\mathrm{XeF}_6\), the hybridization of Xe changes from sp\(^3\)d\(^3\) in \(\mathrm{XeF}_6\) to sp\(^3\)d\(^2\) in \(\mathrm{XeOF}_4\). This change occurs due to the replacement of a fluorine atom with an oxygen atom bonded to xenon.
