When chloric acid (\(HClO_3\)) reacts with hydrochloric acid (\(HCl\)), it forms chlorine dioxide (\(ClO_2\)), which is a paramagnetic gas. The balanced reaction is:
\[ HClO_3 + HCl \rightarrow ClO_2 + Cl_2 + H_2O \]

Chlorine dioxide (\(ClO_2\)) can react further with ozone (\(O_3\)). The reaction of \(ClO_2\) with \(O_3\) can produce dichlorine hexoxide (\(Cl_2O_6\)).

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine dioxide with ozone is:
\[ 2ClO_2 + 2O_3 \rightarrow Cl_2O_6 + 2O_2 \]

So, the paramagnetic gas \(ClO_2\) reacts with ozone to produce dichlorine hexoxide (\(Cl_2O_6\)).
The correct Answer is option is (C):\(Cl_2O_6\)

Concepts Used:

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
