Mn goes from +7 to +2 (gain of 5 e⁻ each) while each oxalate carbon goes from +3 to +4 (loss of 2 e⁻ per ): electrons balance, and the atom balance follows.
Note
The book prints the product of this equation as "O₂"; the oxidation of oxalic acid gives CO₂ (as the chapter's own section 8.7.2 a iv shows). We balance with CO₂.
(ii) The dichromate–iodide redox:
Cr goes from +6 to +3 (2 Cr gain 6 e⁻); six I⁻ lose 6 e⁻ to give . …
