5 K4Fe(CN)6 + 43 KMnO4 + 164 HCl → 43 MnCl2 + 5 FeCl3 + 63 KCl + 30 NO + 30 CO2 + 82 H2O
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
43 MnVII + 215 e- → 43 MnII (reduction)
30 CII - 60 e- → 30 CIV (oxidation)
30 N-III - 150 e- → 30 NII (oxidation)
5 FeII - 5 e- → 5 FeIII (oxidation)
KMnO4 is an oxidizing agent, K4Fe(CN)6 is a reducing agent, K4Fe(CN)6 is a reducing agent, K4Fe(CN)6 is a reducing agent.
