Mass number = protons + neutrons
mass number = 5 + 7
mass number = 12
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:
In this chemical reaction, which is considered irreversible, that is why the reaction arrow is ONE and unidirectional and not two in opposite directions, which means reversibility of the reaction.
In summary, if we look closely at the reaction, we observe that the stoichiometric values are balanced in the reaction, therefore there is THE SAME AMOUNT OF REAGENTS AS PRODUCTS.
This phenomenon has to be met in ALL CHEMICAL REACTIONS, the stoichiometric balance is essential for this reaction to be well expressed.
Why is stoichiometric balance so important? Why we indicate that we have the same amount of reagents as products, means that NOTHING IS LOST, EVERYTHING IS TRANSFORMED in the matter of the organic compounds that reacted.
Explanation:
Although if we observe the stoichiometric values well they are not correct with respect to oxygen, therefore it would be necessary to correct that in the chemical reaction, but above we briefly explain why the balancing of the reactions and the relationship they have with the conservation of the mass.
The law of conservation of mass indicates that mass is never lost, but is transformed, like energy, considering that it happens in terrestrial life.
The answer is Solute. The solution is the whole thing. The solvent is the major component (the liquid doing the dissolving).
