Nonmetal oxide plus base (reaction writing)

Liquid dichlorine heptoxide is poured into a beaker of sodium hydroxide solution.

Cl207 (l) + Na(OH) (aq) ----> ?

Yikes.  They picked a nice one for you, didn't they?  I had to look up that dichlorine heptoxide actually existed.  Given the general class of molecule it is, what would you expect to happen?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

I suppose OP is expected to think it is not different from the reaction of NaOH+CO2.

Of course my answer was ironic.
