#Cl_2(g)# + #CaI_2(aq)# => #CaCl_2(aq)# + #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. #2I^-.(aq)# + #Cl_2(g)# => 2#Cl^_(aq)# + #I_2(s)#

The activity series for the Halogen Series is

#F_2 > Cl_2 > Br_2 > I_2#
