The correct option is (C): \(Cl _2 O _6\)
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):\(Cl_2O_6\)
