Identify an element that appears in only one substance on each side of the equation.
If several atoms satisfy this condition, select the substance that has the largest
number of atoms of a single element.
Balance the number of atoms of that element by placing the proper coefficients in front
of each substance with that element on each side of the equation.
Balance atoms of other elements by the same process.
Next, balance atoms that appear in two or more places.
Examples of Balancing Equations:
-Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia
-Aluminum hydroxide reacts with sulfuric acid to yield aluminum sulfate and water
