I have the question find the balanced equation when Fe(s) is placed in HClO4 (aq).

Question

How do I balance this redox reaction?

I'm not entirely sure its right but the unbalanced equation I have so far is
Fe (s) + HClO4 (aq) -->Fe(ClO4)3 + H2

I'm not sure what to do after that...or how to use the oxidation number/s to solve this problem either.

See your post above.
