  1. i
    MnO4- --> Mn2+ (reduction)
    Cl- --> Cl2 (oxidation)
    ii.
    MnO4 --> Mn2+
    2Cl- --> Cl2
    iii.
    MnO4- +8H+ --> Mn2+ + 4H2O
    2Cl- --> Cl2
    iv.
    MnO4- +8H+ + 5e- --> Mn2+ + 4H2O
    2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e-
    v.
    2 x MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- --> Mn2+ + 4H2O = 2MnO4- + 16H+ + 10e- --> 2Mn2+ + 8H2O
    5 x 2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e- = 10Cl- ---> 5Cl2 + 10e-
    vi.
    2MnO4- + 16H+ + 10e- +10Cl- ---> 2Mn2+ + 8H2O + 5Cl2 + 10e-
    2MnO4- + 16H+ + 10Cl- ---> 2Mn2+ + 8H2O + 5Cl2 <--FINAL BALANCED EQ
