Yes. I realize that this may be the most...well, 'stupidest' question I will ever ask. However, I have hit a road block. How do you balance this equation? It's driving me insane, because I know its easy and the answer is staring at me right in the face. Please, help me out! (Though, by the time anyone answers this, I'll have figured it out haha). Thanks for your help and consideration! :D

I would suggest writing it as the reverse reaction to acid-base neutralization.
You have reactants which are a salt and water. These are the products in acid-base neutralization, so just turn it around and see what acid and base could have made them.
Fe2(SO4)3 + 6 H2O ---> 2 Fe(OH)3 + 3 H2SO4
Since the base must have the OH 1-, the positive metal ion, Fe 3+ must be paired with it. The acid must have the H 1+, so the negative polyatomic sulfate ion (2-) must be paired with it.

It'll just dissolve. To correctly right the equation: NaCl(s) + H2O(liquid) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq) + H2O(liquid) s = solid aq = aqueous No reaction. Just solvation. And FYI, NaCl is known as "table salt" so it will dissolve in water.

its been a while but just looking i would say that you get iron (I) hydroxide and sulfuric acid, which dissociates.
