(a) (i) SF_{4}

        

        (ii) ICl_{3}

           

(b) (i) Chlorine gas when passed through hot concentrated sodium hydroxide solution, disproportion reaction takes place to produce NaCl (oxidation state of Cl is -1 )and sodium chlorate with +5 oxidation state of chlorine.

3Cl_{2}+6NaOH \rightarrow 5NaCl + NaClO_{3}+3H_{2}O

(ii) When XeF_{6} is subjected to complete hydrolysis, the product formed is Xenon trioxide which is explosive and used as oxidizing agent.

XeF_{6}+3H_{2}O\rightarrow XeO_{3}+6HF

(iii) Concentrated sulphuric acid is a dehydrating agent and hence when added to cane sugar, dehydrates completely to generate a black carbon mass.

C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}\overset{conc. H_{2}SO_{4}}{\rightarrow}12C + 11H_{2}O
