Dear student
 

SiO2 + 2XeF6 → 2XeOF4 + SiF4

Silicon dioxide react with xenon hexafluoride to produce oxide-tetraxenon(VI) fluoride and silicon tetrafluoride.

In this reaction  the oxidation state of Xe and Si should remain same .in reactant XeF6 ,Xe has +6 oxidation state so it will remain +6only after the rxn..similar is the case with silicon  .also we know that xenon fluoride are good fluorinating agents..  So the best possible products would be XeOF4 and SiF4
