Balancing a reduction-oxidation reaction


Assignment:

Use the following pair of reduction half-reactions to design a galvanic cell. Then write in the proper coefficient for each of the species involved in the overall reaction. Water molecules and protons are not shown in the half-reactions, but may be needed in the overall reaction.

MnO4- (aq) --> MnO2 (s) Eo = 0.59 V
NO3- (aq) --> NO (g) Eo = 0.96 V

What are the proper coefficients for each of the following:
NO3- (aq), MnO4- (aq), NO (g), MnO2 (s), H+ (aq), H2O (l)

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
