Did none of you guys do basic chemistry?

Who told you that?Used ferric chloride is a deadly poison and carcinnogen.
Pshh. That's like asking a chemist if he knows his circuits. To be honest, I don't quite remember why the Copper chloride in the presence of sodium carbonate would recombine to produce copper carbonate and NaCl. WAs it to do with the the elements having the highest electronegativities having priority to form compounds with each other, leaving the remainders to form compounds with each other. Right now, I'm not sure which pairs had the strongest (highest) electronegativity difference- Na and CL or Cu and carbonate.
No it doesn't.Please read the MSDS sheet which you will notice by the way says Ferric Chloride is a Carcinogen.

Simple if you know chemistry and solubilities.I guess it was a silly question now I think about it. However, when it comes to what does what in chemistry you only have to remember solubilities. Copper Carbonate is insoluble and so it precipitates. Simple really.
