Answer: The given statement is true.
Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.
Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.
Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.
In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.
Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

Answer:
divide the volume value by 1000
So 3828/1000=3.828
We know that to relate solutions of with the factors of molarity and volume, we can use the equation:

**
NOTE: The volume as indicated in this question is defined in L, not mL, so that conversion must be made. However it is 1000 mL = 1 L.
So now we can assign values to these variables. Let us say that the 18 M

is the left side of the equation. Then we have:

We can then solve for

:

and

or

We now know that the total amount of volume of the 4.35 M solution will be
210 mL. This is assuming that the entirety of the 50 mL of 18 M is used and the rest (160 mL) of water is then added.
I suppose you mean to ask why we can't go through obstacles.
Any atom is surrounded by an electronic cloud. When two atoms get close to each other, the electronic clouds repel each other, preventing them from interpenetrating each other. That same phenomenon, on a larger scale, prevents us from going through matter.
