Evidence boundary

This answer balances only the four candidate equations transcribed in the prompt. It establishes atom conservation and the smallest whole-number coefficient ratio for those equations; it does not establish reaction feasibility, required conditions, mechanism, equilibrium position or yield, and it makes no claim about any other equation.
