The coefficient of ClOF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10 is 1.The half-reaction for the oxidation of ClOF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10 is:ClOF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) → ClF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) + 2e^-The half-reaction for the reduction of Pb(OH)₄²F1F1F1S1^F1F1F10 is:Pb(OH)₄²F1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) + 2e^- → PbO₂(s) + 2OH^-(aq)Multiplying the first half-reaction by 2 and adding it to the second half-reaction gives the balanced redox reaction:2ClOF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) + Pb(OH)₄²F1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) → 2ClF1F1F1S1^F1F1F10(aq) + PbO₂(s) + 2OH^-(aq)
