(ii) Balance the changes in O, N, by multiplying the oxidant and reductant by suitable numbers.
4MnO2 + 2O2 + KOH → K2MnO4 + H2O
(iii) Balance the equation atomically (except O and H).
4MnO2 + 2O2 + KOH → K2MnO4 + H2O
(iv) Balance oxygen and hydrogen atoms by multiplying H2O by 4.
4MnO2 + 2O2 + 8KOH → 4K2MnO4 + 4H2O
