REACTION HELP!! please!

Hi all,

Anyone know how to balance an equation when we vanadium oxide was added to water, sulfuric acid and ethanol, then it was added to a solution of acetylacetone, water and sodium carbonate to for form the product [VO(acac)₂]. acac is acetylacetone (C₅H₈O₂).

Im guessing it's like this, but i've left something out, lol.

V₂O₅ + H₂SO₄ + C₂H₅OH + C₅H₈O₂ .... = [VO(C₅H₈O₂)₂]..........


Then we used this product.
[VO(acac2)] added to ethanol and then ammonia, to form the ammonia adduct of [VO(acac2)]. Im assuming it's like this:

[VO(acac)₂] + C₂H₅OH + NH₃... = [VO(acac)₂NH₃].....

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me, thank you!!
