half-reqctions:
MnO4^- ---> Mn^2+
H2O2 ---> O2
balance half-reactions:
5e^- + 8H^+ + MnO4^- ---> Mn^2+ + 4H2OH2O2 ---> O2 + 2H^+ + 2e^-
equalize electrons:
10e^- + 16H^+ + 2MnO4^- ---> 2Mn^2+ + 8H2O5H2O2 ---> 5O2 + 10H^+ + 10e^-
add:
6H^+ + 5H2O2 + 2MnO4^- ---> 2Mn^2+ + 5O2 + 8H2O
You can also do a search. Copy the reactants and the reaction arrow and search. You'll get a number of websites that balance the equation.
