Uranium hexafluoride, UF6, is processed to produce fuel for nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. UF6 is made from the reaction of elemental uranium with ClF3, which also produces Cl2 as a by-product.
(a) Write the balanced molecular equation for the conversion of U and ClF3 into UF6 and Cl2.
(b) Is this a metathesis reaction?
(c) Is this a redox reaction?
