STEP ONE
Identify the type of reaction, so identify the products.
e.g. acid + base --> water + salt
e.g. acid + metal --> hydrogen + salt
e.g. acid + metal --> hydrogen + salt
STEP TWO
Work out the formula of the salt. Use "drop-and-swap", but remember that this is just a method for finding the electrically-neutral ratio of ions.
STEP THREE
Balance the atoms using large numbers to change the quantity of each compound/molecule/atom.
