Step-by-step explanation:

In balancing chemical equations, the law of conservation of matter must be strictly obeyed.

By the virtue of this, the following steps are usually taken:

  • First identify the atoms on each side of the expression. This to know the number of species to balance.
  • Then count the atoms on each side.
  • Then using appropriate number as the coefficients, increase the atom on each side until there are equal numbers on both sides.
  • Finally, check to make sure we have the same number of each type of atom on each side.
