The reaction of

\mathrm{HClO}_{3}

with

\mathrm{HCl}

gives a paramagnetic gas, which upon reaction with

\mathrm{O}_{3}

produces

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

\mathrm{HClO}_3

reacts with

\mathrm{HCl}

according to the following equation,

2 {HClO}_{3} + 2 HCl ⟶ 2 {ClO}_{2} + {Cl}_{2} + 2 H_{2} O

\mathrm{ClO}_2

molecule is paramagnetic, as it contains odd number of electrons.

2 {ClO}_{2} + 2 O_{3} ⟶ {Cl}_{2} O_{6} + 2 O_{2}
