I need to know if the equation is correct and balance it

Nope. The reaction between Aluminium and Chloric Acid liberates Hydrogen, not Chlorine. Also,

Al&#40;Cl3&#41;3

is nonsensical.; you dropped an O, so there is no need for water to balance the oxygen.

It is a metal-acid reduction/oxidation.

2 Al + 6 HClO3 = 2 Al&#40;ClO3&#41;3 + 3 H2 &#40;g&#41;

Al + HClO3 = Al(Cl3)3 + Cl2 + H2O , It is correct?
