The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride.
Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.

What bond is formed in a reaction between iron and copper II chloride?
Copper and some yello gross stuff
What happens when iron reacts with chlorine?
A chemical reaction ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you thick?? two halogens cannot react there shall be no reaction between iodine and chlorine
Can you store copper chloride in an iron vessel?
Emphatically no! Iron or steel will rapidly dissolve in hydrochloric acid generating hydrogen gas. Even stainless steel is not very good for containing hydrochloric acid. Chloride ions are highly corrosive and cause normal grades of stainless to pit and crack. The best bet (besides avoiding it altogether) is glass (as it is stored in a laboratory) or plastic - PVC, polyethylene, or polypropylene.
Will iron rust if its with calcium chloride?
The iron would not rust, because calcium chloride is a desiccant. For rusting to occur there are two vital components: water and oxygen. Since calcium chloride is a desiccant, it would absorb the water, so rusting would not occur.
What is a word equation for the single-displacement reaction of iron and copper sulfate?
The iron will displace the copper as it is more reactive. here's the equation: iron + copper sulphate = iron sulphate +copper
Can reaction occur with copper nail and iron chloride?
nope. when u look at the reaction chart iron is stronger than copper so no reaction occur.
What is the net ionic equation for iron II chloride and copper?
There is no reaction.
Do copper react with iron sulphate?
Any reaction occur.
Will a reaction occur when copper is heated with iron oxide?
J
What bond is formed in a reaction between iron and copper II chloride?

What is produced with iron and copper II chloride?
copper and iron (II) chloride
Could sodium nitrate react with iron (II) chloride?
Any reaction occur.
What is the state symbol for copper chloride?
CuCl2
What reaction will occur if copper sulphate and iron mixed?
The chemical reaction is, Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) = FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s). This occurs when the copper and iron are mixed together. The iron displaces some of the copper from its compound and the iron acts like this because it is more reactive than copper is.
What happens when copper chloride is mixed with iron?
the iron turns into copper, this means it goes a redish colour. this is because iron is stronger than copper, so the iron takes over and bags the chloride for itself. which makes iron chloride. CuCo2 + Fe = FeCo2 + Cu CopperChloride + iron = IronChloride + Copper
What happens when iron reacts with chlorine?
A chemical reaction ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you thick?? two halogens cannot react there shall be no reaction between iodine and chlorine
Can iron II ions be produced when zinc reacts with iron III chloride?
Is there a rationale for this reaction to occur: Zn + 2FeCl3 = ZnCl2 + 2FeCl2
