(a) Complete the following chemical reactions equations:

(i) P4+SO2Cl2 -->

(ii) XeF6+H2O -->

(b) Predict the shape and the asked angle (90° or more or less) in each of the following cases:

 (i)  and the angle O - S - O

(ii) ClF3 and the angle F - Cl - F

(iii) XeF2 and the angle F - Xe - F

Answer

(i) P4+ 10SO2Cl2 ---> 4 PCl5+ 10SO2

(ii) Equation for complete hydrolysis:

 XeF6+H2O ---->XeO3+6HF

 Equations for partial hydrolysis

XeF6+H2O ---> XeOF3+2HF

XeF6+2H2O ---> XeO2F2+4HF


b)  (i) 

ii) 

Angle F – Cl - F: Less than90o
iii) 


Angle F- Xe- F 80o
