FeI2 + Cl2 → ?

Yes
No

Correct Answer

Yes

Explanation

FeI2 + Cl2 → FeCl2 + I2

Iron (Fe) is more reactive than iodine (I), so it can replace iodine in the compound.
 
  1. The iron from FeI2 replaces iodine, forming iron (II) chloride (FeCl2).
  2. The displaced iodine atoms combine to form iodine gas (I2).
