Is this equation for acetic acid + sodium chloride balanced?

C2H4O2 + NaCl ---> HCl + C2H3NaO2

No but why can't you do this? You NEVER have to write an equation and ask if it's balanced. You count the atoms and see.
I cuont 2C on th left and 2 on the right.
I count 4 H on the left and 3 on the right so it isn't balanced.

This isn't part of the question but I doubt you can make HCl this way. It will work with H2SO4 and NaCl.
