Hint :Xenon is a noble gas whose atomic number is 54. It only makes compounds with high electronegative elements, such as F. Some compounds of Xe are made with O also. Any kind of reaction with Xe or Xenon Fluoride requires very high energy and hence high temperature, pressure are prerequisites.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
 XeF2 reacts with hydrogen to make hydro-fluoride and it gives Xe as a by-product because HF is more stable than XeF2 .
 XeF2+H2HF+Xe
 XeF6 reacts with SiO2 to make a compound of Xenon, Oxygen and Fluorine. The reaction is:
 XeF6+SiO2XeOF4+SiF4 . This happens because of the high electronegativity of oxygen, which makes a double bond with Xe in XeOF4 .
When XeF6 reacts with NH3 the reaction results in the separation of Xe and F, formation of
 NH4F and releasing of N2 .
 XeF6+8NH3Xe+6NH4F+N2
The Reaction of XeF6 with water makes hydro-fluoride and XeO3
 XeF6+3H2OXeO3+6HF
The Reaction of XeF6 and SbF5 makes an ionic compound in which XeF5 makes the cation part and SbF6 makes the anion part.
 XeF6+SbF5[XeF5]+[SbF6]
The reaction of XeF4 and KI is a replacement reaction in a way that F replaces I in KI. The by-products are Xe and I2
 XeF4+4KIXe+4KF+2I2
The reaction of XeF4 and BCl3 is similar to the reaction of XeF4 and KI . Here F replaces Cl and the by-products are Xe and Cl2 .
 XeF4+BCl34BF3+3Xe+6Cl2

Note :
Xenon forms three fluorides XeF2,XeF4 and XeF6 .
 XeF2 is formed when the excess of Xe is reacted with F2 under high temperature and pressure.
Similarly when instead of one mole of F2 , two moles are taken, then the same reaction yields XeF4 . And again the same reaction forms XeF6 when 3 moles of F2 are reacted with excess of Xe.
