Oxidation half reaction : II2
1) Balancing atoms other than O and H
2II2
2) Balance of oxygen atoms
2II2
3) Balance of Hydrogen atom
2II2
4) Balance of charges 2II2+2e......(1)
Reduction half reaction MnO4MnO2
1) Balancing atoms other than O & H
MnO4MnO2
2) Balance of oxygen atom
MnO4MnO2+2H2O
3) Balance of Hydrogen atoms
MnO4+4H2OMnO2+2H2O+4OH
4) Balance of charges
MnO4+4H2O+3eMnO2+4OH+2H2O.....(2)
1×3;6I3I2+6e  .....(3)
2×2;2MnO4+8H2O+6e 2MnO2+8OH+4H2O ....(4)
(3)+(4)
2MnO4+6I+4H2O2MnO2+3I2+8OH
