Yes, there will be a reaction between fluorine (F₂) and potassium iodide (KI). Fluorine is a highly reactive halogen and is capable of displacing iodine from potassium iodide.
The reaction can be represented by the following equation:
\[ \text{2 KI} + \text{F}_2 \rightarrow \text{2 KF} + \text{I}_2 \]
In this reaction, fluorine reacts with potassium iodide to produce potassium fluoride (KF) and iodine (I₂). The iodine may appear as a purple vapor or solid, depending on the conditions of the reaction. Fluorine is one of the most reactive elements, and this reaction will occur readily.
