2MnO_2 + 4KOH + O_2 \rightarrow\underset{\textup{Potassium manganate}}{\underset{(green)}{\underset{A}{2K_2MnO_4}}} + 2H_2O

\underset{A}{2MnO_4^{2-}} + 4H^+ \rightarrow {\underset{(purple)}{\underset{B}{2MnO_4^-}}} + 2MnO_2 +2H_2O

\underset{B}{2MnO_4^{-}} + H_2O +KI \rightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2KOH + \underset{\textup{Potassium iodate}}{\underset {C}{KIO_3}}

\underset{B}{2MnO_4^{-}} + 16H^+ +10I^- \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+} + 8H_2O + \underset{D}{5I_2}
