$C l_{2} (g)$ $Cl_2(g)$ + $C a I_{2} (a q)$ $CaI_2(aq)$ => $C a C l_{2} (a q)$ $CaCl_2(aq)$ + $I_{2} (s)$ $I_2(s)$

Explanation:

This reaction is a 'single replacement' type reaction following the activity series of the Halogen Family of elements. Chlorine is more active than Iodine and therefore converts the iodide into molecular iodine by oxidation. $2 I^{- .} (a q)$ $2I^-.(aq)$ + $C l_{2} (g)$ $Cl_2(g)$ => 2 $C l^{_} (a q)$ $Cl^_(aq)$ + $I_{2} (s)$ $I_2(s)$

The activity series for the Halogen Series is

$F_{2} > C l_{2} > B r_{2} > I_{2}$ $F_2 > Cl_2 > Br_2 > I_2$
