How are xenon fluorides XeF2, XeF4 and XeF6 obtained?

XeF2, XeF4, and XeF6 are obtained by a direct reaction between Xe and F2. The condition under which the reaction is carried out determines the product.

Xe(g) + F2(g) \(\overset{673K, 1bar}\longrightarrow\) XeF2(s)

Xe(g) + 2F2(g) \(\overset{873K, 7bar}\longrightarrow\) XeF4(s)

Xe(g) + 3F2(g) \(\overset{573K, 60-70bar}\longrightarrow\) XeF6(s)
