Redox quick question!?

Hi I am attempting a question about the oxidation this ion - (CO2-)2 by potassium manganate (VII)

Essentially the question says how many moles of the above ion is oxidised by 0.003mol of the potassium manganate (VII)

However I'm not sure about the half equation involving the (CO2-)2 ion.

Can anyone help? Many thanks :biggrin:
