hi all,

i was wondering if someone could show me, step by step, how to properly balance the following:

KMnO4 + NH3 --> KNO3 + MnO2 + (1 molecule potassium hydroxide) + (1 molecule water)

i just did not know where to even start with this one - i think it may have to involve a redox reaction but it gets too complicated for me. thanks!
