Will it dissolve?
I think 1,1-difluoroethane is nonpolar and chlorine is nonpolar as well. Will chlorine gas dissolve in liquefied 1,1-difluoroethane? Will liquid
chlorine dissolve in liquefied 1,1-difluoroethane? if it does, 95% aqueous ethanol should dissolve both.
Will the chloride dissolve in 1,1-difluoroethane without reacting with it?
Supercool temperatures!

Indeed, it is likely that liquid chlorine is miscible in 1,1-Difluoroethane, but what's the point? You cannot dissolve both in ethanol, as Cl2 reacts
with ethanol. 1,1-Difluoroethane boils at -25 degrees Celsius, while Cl2 boils at -34 degrees, just 9 degrees cooler than the boiling point of
1,1-Difluoroethane. If you can get that to liquefy, you can get the chlorine itself to liquefy.

Cl2 reaction with chloride is ethylchloride(chloroethane). Does it just happen without the grignard reagent magnesium? If it does, it's a really
violent reaction. Like chlorine reacting in hydrogen oxide(H2O, water) to get HCl. Ethyl chloride is useful for grignard reactions.
It's dissolving chlorine gas in liquid -50 celsius 1,1-difluoroethane to make a less corrosive solution rather than pure liquid chlorine.

Nope. Ethanol reacts with chlorine to produce chloral/hydrate, which is a chlorinated aldehyde, due to the oxidizing nature of chlorine. It's not
violent but it is probably exothermic and will destroy your chlorine.
I guess it's ok to dilute the chlorine with the 1,1-Difluoroethane at low temperatures.
