Question

BEBE

Answer 1

Reaction 1 : yes

Reaction 2 : no

Further explanation

The metal activity series is expressed in voltaic series  

Li-K-Ba-Ca-Na-Mg-Al-Mn- (H2O) -Zn-Cr-Fe-Cd-Co-Ni-Sn-Pb- (H) -Cu-Hg-Ag-Pt-Au  

The more to the left, the metal is more reactive (easily release electrons) and the stronger reducing agent  

The more to the right, the metal is less reactive (harder to release electrons) and the stronger oxidizing agent

So that the metal located on the left can push the metal on the right in the redox reaction  

From activity series of Halogen :

F₂>Cl₂>Br₂>I₂

F₂ is the strongest oxidizing agent

1. Reaction

Cl₂ + 2Rbl - 2RbCI+ I₂

Cl₂>I₂⇒reaction can occur⇒yes, reactions will take place.

2. Reaction

I₂ + NiBr₂ - NI₂ + Br₂

Br₂>I₂⇒Reaction can't occur⇒no, reaction will not take place
