6 HCl (aq) + NaClO3 (aq) → 3 H2O (l) + 3 Cl2 (g) + NaCl (aq)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

5 Cl-I - 5 e- → 5 Cl0 (oxidation)

ClV + 5 e- → Cl0 (reduction)

HCl is a reducing agent, NaClO3 is an oxidizing agent (synproportionation (comproportionation)).

This is a gas evolution reaction, Cl2 is the formed gas.
