Would cl2 be reduced by i- ? explain.

Yes, and it would yield gaseous iodine and chloride ions.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when gaseous iodine reacts with iodide ions, the reaction results:

In such a way, by balancing the reaction we obtain:

Therefore, gaseous chlorine would be reduced by iodide ions yielding gaseous iodine and chloride ions.

Best regards.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
