How Do I Solve Double Displacement Reactions for Chemistry Homework?

I am so stressed right now and am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. My chemistry homework is just really confusing and I need to pass this class, could someone please help me out? I need to hand this in tomorrow and I have already answered the questions myself but I feel like my answers are all wrong. I would appreciate it if someone could show me how to solve these so I know that when I hand this in tomorrow it won't bring my grade down even lower.

Complete and balance following equations: (find reactants and products)
1.Reactants: KOH+H2SO4
2.Reactants: FeS+HCl
3.Reactants: NaCl+H2SO4

If reaction occurs, list products. If no reaction occurs, state "no reaction":
1.Reaction: CaBr2+KOH
2.Reaction: Cu(OH)2+HC2H3O2
3.Reaction: FeS+2HCl
4.Reaction: Ca(NO3)2+2HClMy attemps: 1. H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) --> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
2. FeS + 2HCl ------> FeCl2 + H2S
3. 2NaCl + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2HCl(g)

1. CaBr2 + KOH = CaOH + KBr2
2. Cu(OH)2 + 2 HC2H3O2 = Cu(C2H3O2)2 + 2 H2O
3. ?
4. No reaction ?

Idk what it nmeans by listing products :/

Please post your answers - forum rules!
 
What part do you struggle with exactly? Part where you need to find the products? Or part where you need to balance the equation?

Both, but finding products in particular. I swear I'm not an airhead lol, I had a medical issues which caused me to miss school and now I'm so behind. :cry:

Sorry, I'm a new member so I wasn't aware of the rules. I just posted my attempts.

I'm not much of a chemist, but those look right to me.

I don't think so. See http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/group7/halideions.html.

A problem with the valencies?

The rest I leave to others.
