[KathChem82]

If you are asked to balance equation, all you need to do is count the number of atoms consist in the equation.

1. Count the number of atoms in the reactant side. You need to count them accurately.
2. Then count the number of atoms in the product side. See to it that the atoms of the compounds present in the reactant side is present in the product side too.
3. Make sure that the number of atoms consisting the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms consisting the product side is equal.
4. Mathematics is the key to solve this problem. Try to count and add the coefficient of the compound to those who lack the number of atoms.
