How can I balance the following redox: CaCl4 + SnCl2 = CaCl3 + SnCl4 ?

(1/1)

SodiumGuy:
Hi guys,
my teacher give me some redox equations that I have to balance as a homework.
One of these equations is the following:

CaCl4 + SnCl2  :rarrow: CaCl3 + SnCl4

I don't know why in the equation there are CaCl4 and CaCl3...
Do these compounds exist? Or it is just an error of my prof?

Borek:
Are you sure Ca and not Ce?

SodiumGuy:
Ok if I use Ce it makes sense.
Really thanks  :)

mjc123:
but it's still not balanced...
