Answer 1

Well a skeleton equation is unbalanced and only shows the chemicals that were involved in the chemical reaction so there shouldn't put in coefficients.

Or do you mean how to balance a skeleton equation? Basically you just want to have the same amount of products as reactants - ask if you want help on this :)
