Help need to balance it
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
BCl3+H2O2>>H3 BO3+HCl 2. Relevant equations need to balanc it 3. The attempt at a solution |

That appears to be redox so you could start from the individual half-cells and balance first for the electrons. A sensible result might still be found just using balancing of numbers of atoms using the unbalanced reactants and products.
Try this: You see 3 chlorines on the left, and you see only 1 chlorine on the right. What must you do about this? What does this do the your balance of hydrogens? What more or next can you do? |

B is neither reduced nor oxidized, BCl3 just hydrolyses. The only redox here is hydrogen peroxide decomposition. This can be classifed as disproportionation reaction.

The linewrapping distracted me and I analyzed the reaction incorrectly. At my end, the H3 ended the line and the next stuff continued on a new line and I mistook what was seen. Not very careful thinking.
