Why don't you give your thinking on this problem? I would start by writing the balanced equation. Here is one hint: I often find it helpful to assign oxidation numbers to carbon atoms. The oxidation number of any carbon atom may be defined as the number of bonds to oxygen or nitrogen minus the number of bonds to hydrogen.
