Answer

The other product is likely $HCl(g)$.

Work Step by Step

Create a balanced equation to find the other product. The inputs are $XCl$ and $H_2O$. Since the $XO_2$ output requires 2 oxygen atoms, 2 $H_2O$ molecules are required to balance the equation. This leaves 4 molecules each of $H$ and $Cl$, so 4 molecules of $HCl$ are generated. $XCl_4(l)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow XO_2(s)+4HCl(g)$
