It looks like you have already done it!

Explanation:

Let's check t to see if the equation is stoichiometrically balanced. Particles on left hand side: #Fe+O+Pd+2xxF#. Particles on RHS: #Fe+O+Pd+2xxF#. So your equation is indeed stoichiometrically balanced.

Whether the reaction is reasonable is another matter. I presume this is a solid state reaction that occurs at high temperature.

In this context, just what do I mean by #"stoichiometric"#?
