Question

In the reaction Cal2 (s) + Cl2 (g) CaCl2 (s) + I2 (s), what phases are the products in after the reaction?

A. CaCl2 is a liquid, and l2 is a gas.
B. Cal2 is a solid, and CaCl2 is in aqueous solution.
C. Both products are liquids.
D. Both products are solids.

Answer 1

D. Both products are solids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

Cal2(s) + Cl2(g) —> CaCl2(s) + I2(s)

A careful observation of the equation, shows that the products are in the following phase:

CaCl2 is in solid state.

I2 is in solid state.

From the above we can see clearly that both products are in solid state.
