So we must make the number of flourine atoms the same on both sides. There are two chlorine atoms on each side. On the right hand side, there are 6 flourine atoms (2x3). In order to balance the equation we must add a 3 in front of the flourine molecule, so that we have 6 flourine atoms on each side.
Hey again @hi,
So we must make the number of flourine atoms the same on both sides. There are two chlorine atoms on each side. On the right hand side, there are 6 flourine atoms (2x3).

Hope this makes sense.
