ferric iodide is very unstable but ferric chloride is stable:-
I- is a stronger reducing agent in comparison to Cl-Fe+3 is easily reduced by iodide ion.Therefore it gets reduced to iodine.The standard electrode potential of chlorine is much higher,it means it is a better oxidising agent.Also the large size of iodine makes it a strong reducing agent
FeI3 ------->FeI +I2
FeI3 is unstable because Fe^+3 is strong oxidising agent but I^- has very less reducing power.
