SUMMARY

Xenon trioxide (XeO3) is an artificially created compound that exhibits explosive properties. The energy released during its decomposition is linked to the reverse reaction of its standard formation, with an estimated enthalpy of around 400 kJ/mol. This discussion highlights the need for further exploration of noble gas compounds and their characteristics. Additionally, it emphasizes the lack of readily available literature on the subject.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical compounds and their properties
  • Knowledge of enthalpy and thermodynamic principles
  • Familiarity with explosive materials and their classifications
  • Basic chemistry of noble gases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the synthesis methods of Xenon trioxide
  • Study the thermodynamic properties of noble gas compounds
  • Explore literature on explosive chemical reactions
  • Investigate the safety protocols for handling explosive materials
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, researchers in materials science, and safety professionals interested in the properties and applications of noble gas compounds.

First disclaimer: Xenon trioxide, while not existing naturally, can be created artificially. This question is not like "When did you stop beating your wife?" type.
So...I read this compound is explosive. Well, a coke and mentos is also explosive. TNT is too.
And then, I wanted to know is someone has any information of this compound, of how explosive it is, in the way of energy liberated in its decomposition.
And, if not, I would like to know if anyone has seen any book about noble gases compounds.
And yep, that's it for now.

I think the energy released in explosion is due to reverse reaction of "Standard Formation" of Xenon Trioxide. So, probably the energy released is its standard formation enthalpy. It might be around 400 KJ/Mol.
