Question

The reaction of HClO3 with HCl gives a paramagnetic gas, which upon reaction with O3 produces

• A. $Cl _2 O$
• B. $ClO _2$
• C. $Cl _2 O _6$
• D. $Cl _2 O _7$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$Cl _2 O _6$

Answer 2

The correct option is C $\text{Cl}_2\text{O}_6$
$2HClO_3+2HCl→2ClO_2+Cl_2+2H_2O$

$\text{ClO}_2$ produced here is a paramagnetic gas.

$2\text{ClO}_2 + 2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2\text{O}_6 + 2\text{O}_2$
