Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Oxidation half equation;

3Cd(s) + 6OH^-(aq) ------> 3Cd(OH)2(s) + 6e

Reduction half equation;

2MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^-(aq) + 6e --------> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O(l)

Balanced reaction equation;

3Cd(s) + 6OH^-(aq) + 2MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^-(aq)  ------> 3Cd(OH)2(s) + 2MnO2(s)

Number of electrons transferred = 6
