➤ When talking and exhaling Xenon, the lung sacs fill up and dysphonia develops.
➤ The drug 5-fluorouracil is produced by combining Xenon with compounds.
➤ Xenon is a component of the central nervous system tissues.
➤ Excessive Xenon in the body causes hypoxia, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the lungs.
-
➤ Xe - dil. 80%
➤ Xenon is used in anesthesiology and radiological diagnostics of the central nervous system.
➤ Radioactive 133Xe is used in spirography (to study lung function) and electrocardiography (to study heart function).
➤ "Xenon air" (80% Xe + 20% O2) has a strong anesthetic effect.
-
➤ The displacement of oxygen depends on a high Xenon content in the air, which can cause hypoxia.
➤ There is no specific antidote.
➤ Xenon was the first of the inert gases to enter into a chemical reaction and the first to form a stable compound.
➤ XeF2 xenon difluoride is a strong oxidant.
➤ Xenon does not react without fluorine. All known xenon compounds are derived from its fluorides.
➤ When considering XeO3 , the explosive force is close to that of TNT.
➤ To produce 1m3 Xe, 11 million m3 of air must be processed.
➤ Sodium perxenonate Na4XeO6·6H2O and xenon perchlorate Xe(ClO4)2 are the strongest oxidants.
➤ Xenon compounds form clathrates or inclusion compounds.
