Answer

$U + 2ClF_3 --> UF_6 + Cl_2$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the unbalanced equation $U + ClF_3 --> UF_6 + Cl_2$ 2. Balance the molecular equation: *The number o U atoms in both sides are equal.(1) *The number of Cl atoms in both sides aren't equal, add a 2 next to $ClF_3$, and that should fix that problem. $U + 2 ClF_3 --> UF_6 + Cl_2$ *The number of F atoms in both sides are equal(6)
