CoCl​2 + HO2 1- --------------) Co(OH)3 + Cl-
balance the above reaction by ion electron method
pls ans it fast its urgent

First your question is incomplete as reaction medium is not mention. And consider this reaction in alkaline medium and in alkaline medium H2O2 get converted to HO2-1 .
The reaction is redox reaction,and the two half reactions are :
  • Oxidation :

            Co2+  Co3+ + e-                                      (1)
                                                                
 
  •  Reduction :

             H2O2 + 2e- 2OH- (alkaline condition)                            (2)
                    

            [ (1) ×2] + (2) gives..,

                 
              Co2+ +H2O2  Co3+ + 2 OH-
