The xenate ion xeo3oh- slowly decomposes in alkaline


a) The xenate ion, [XeO3(OH)]-, slowly decomposes in alkaline solution to give perxentate (XeO64-) and xenon as the only xenon-containing products.

Derive a balanced equation for this reaction.

(b) It is observed that after the reaction in 2(a) 50% of the xenon is present as XeO64- and 50% as xenon, and that oxygen is evolved.
