  You didn't give the reactants (or if you did there was not enough information to know what you are doing). However, almost any reacting with NaHCO3 is relatively simple. Tell me what your trouble is in balancing this, or any, equation. Atoms on the left equation atoms on the right. And the first rule is that you can NOT change any subscripts, only coefficients.
