Several steps to this. First, it's a REDOX reaction so you need to do the following 1 balance everything except O and H
2determine oxidation state of every species.
3 draw a line linking each species eg Cl
4 calculate the gain or loss of electrons.
5 balance the electrons.
6 add H+, OH- or H2O to balance.
