Question
Which iron compound is produced a reaction with copper (II) chloride solution?
### Educational Content on Iron and Copper (II) Chloride Reactions

#### a. Reaction Between Solid Iron and Copper (II) Chloride Solution

The reaction between solid iron and a solution of copper (II) chloride can result in two different iron compounds, depending on the specific reaction conditions. The possible outcomes are as follows:

1. **Formation of Iron (II) Chloride (FeCl₂):**
   \[
   \text{Fe (s)} + \text{CuCl}_2 \text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{FeCl}_2 \text{(aq)} + \text{Cu (s)}
   \]

2. **Formation of Iron (III) Chloride (FeCl₃):**
   \[
   2\text{Fe (s)} + 3\text{CuCl}_2 \text{(aq)} \rightarrow 2\text{FeCl}_3 \text{(aq)} + 3\text{Cu (s)}
   \]

In the above equations:
- \(\text{Fe (s)}\) stands for solid iron.
- \(\text{CuCl}_2 \text{(aq)}\) indicates an aqueous solution of copper (II) chloride.
- \(\text{FeCl}_2 \text{(aq)}\) represents an aqueous solution of iron (II) chloride.
- \(\text{FeCl}_3 \text{(aq)}\) signifies an aqueous solution of iron (III) chloride.
- \(\text{Cu (s)}\) denotes solid copper.

#### b. Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning Exercise

**Guiding Question:** 
Which iron compound is produced in a reaction with a copper (II) chloride solution?

**Task:**
Balance the following equations using the proper coefficients and provide a brief claim, evidence, and reasoning to answer the guiding question.

**Balanced Equations:**

1. Formation of Iron (II) Chloride:
   \[
   \text{Fe (s)} + \text{CuCl}_2 \text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{FeCl}_2 \text{(aq)} + \text{Cu (s)}
   \]

2. Formation of Iron (III) Chloride:
   \[
   2\text{Fe (s)} + 3\text{CuCl}_2 \text{
