I've been spending a long time trying to balance this but it never works.  

The reactants are zinc and nitric acid.  The products are zinc nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and water.  I think I got the formulas right and the names of the reactants and products were given to me.

Zn (s) + HNO₃ (aq) yields Zn(NO₃)₂ (aq) + NH₄NO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)

I tried looking for the equation by searching on google but couldn't find anything.  btw, I don't know what redox equations are (redox kept coming up on google).  I'm just trying to get the equation so that I can use it for a reaction stoichiometry problem.

Have you tried googling -> Chemical Equation Balancer

thanks!  that worked really well!
