Question
Write balanced chemical equations for the following processes :
(i) $XeF _2$ undergoes hydrolysis.
(ii) $MnO _2$ is heated with conc. HCl .

Answer

(i) $XeF _2$ is soluble in water and undergoes hydrolysis to produce Xe metal and $O _2$ gas.
$2 XeF _2+2 H _2 O \rightarrow 2 Xe +4 HF + O _2$
(ii) $MnO _2$ reacts with concentrated HCl to produce manganese chloride, water and chlorine gas.
$MnO _2+4 HCl \rightarrow MnCl _2+ H _2 O +2 Cl _2$
