That reaction doesn't make sense - I think you have iron and copper confused, as one can't transform into the other during a reaction :tongue:

Okay, this is a simple displacement reaction. :smile:

First of all, do you know the chemical formula of each of the compounds?

Its told you all the reactants and products in the question. Its just a case of simply writing them down in their formulas and balancing them. If you need help with balancing them quote me :biggrin:
