first find out what the 'relative Atomic Mass' all the elements in the equation have.

for example:

__ KOH +____________________ H3PO4 → ______ K3PO4 + __ H2O

k=39

O=16<-add them together(56)+H3(1x3) p=31 and O4=16x4 (and so on....)

H= 1

anyway, continue doing that until you find out all the relative atomic masses, add each section together- so add what you get for KOH and H3PO4 but make sure that you don't add it on to K3PO4 and H2O because they're separate sections. after finsing out the score for each side, see which side has the highest number and
