Answer:

3CCl4 + 2SbF3 → 3CCl2F2 + 2SbCl3

Step-by-step explanation:

CCl4 +SbF3 → CCl2F2 + SbCl3

On the left side we have 3 times F, on the right side we have 2 times F

To balance we have to multiply SbF3 (on the left side) by 2

On the right side, we have to multiply CCl2F2 by 3

CCl4 +2SbF3 → 3CCl2F2 + SbCl3

On the left side we have 2x Sb, on the right side we have 1x Sb

So we have to multiply, on the right side, SbCl3 by 2

CCl4 +2SbF3 → 3CCl2F2 + 2SbCl3

On the right side, we have 12 times Cl, on the left side we have 4 times Cl

We have to multiply, on the left side, CCl4 by 3. The balanced equation is:

3CCl4 + 2SbF3 → 3CCl2F2 + 2SbCl3
