Question

we did a lab where we mixed an iron nail with cupric chloride to find the reaction

is this the balanced equation...

Fe + CuCl2 --> FeCl2 + Cu

or would Fe and Cl bond different??

It is balanced. The important thing here is that iron displaced the copper in copperII chloride, which means that iron is more active than copper.
