Question

In the reaction CaI2 (s) + Cl2 (g) → CaCl2 (s) + I2 (s), what phases are the products in after the reaction? Question 1 options: A) CaI2 is a solid, and CaCl2 is in aqueous solution. B) CaCl2 is a liquid, and I2 is a gas. C) Both products are liquids. D) Both products are solids.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Both products are solids.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction such as:

CaI2 (s) + Cl2 (g) → CaCl2 (s) + I2 (s)

You can see the phases of the chemicals involved in the reaction inmediately after the chemical formula. Where (s) means solid, (l) liquid and (g) gas

The CaI₂, CaCl₂ and I₂ are solids and Cl₂ a gas.

That means the products are solids and right solution is:

D) Both products are solids.
