Rules for Balancing:

A
  1. If the same polyatomic is on both sides of the reaction arrow, balance the
    polyatomic first as one unit. The same rule applies if you have more than
    one kind of polyatomic in the reaction.
    2.
    Balance the element whose quantity has been changed in Step 1. Then go
    back to the beginning of the reaction.
  2. If you encounter an odd number of atoms for the element you are trying to
    balance, and it is difficult to convert to an even number, skip that element.
    Balance it last.
    4.
    If you have to balance an odd number of atoms for an element with a
