It is also very helpful if he/she knows how to predict the products of certain specific types of reactions.  After reading the lesson, (optional if you are already an expert!) go to the following websites to practice balancing equations.  Remember that you may have to place a 1 in front of certain elements for the games to understand what you mean.
