(Cl2 + 2e- >> 2Cl-) x5
Cl2 + 6H2O>> 2 ClO3- + 12H+ + 10e-

5Cl2 + 10e- >> 10Cl-
Cl2 + 6H2O >> 2ClO3- + 12H+ + 10e-
---------------------------------------------------------
6Cl2 + 6H2O >> 10Cl- + 2ClO3- + 12H+

Divide by 2
3 Cl2 + 3H2O >> 5Cl- + ClO3- + 6H+

3Cl2 + 3H2O -------> (ClO3)- + 5Cl- + 6H+

This is a diproportionation reaction.
