KClO (l) + 2 KOH (aq) + 2 NO2 (l) → KCl (aq) + 2 KNO3 (aq) + H2O (l)

This is an acid-base reaction (neutralization): KOH is a base, NO2 is an acid.

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

ClI + 2 e- → Cl-I (reduction)

2 NIV - 2 e- → 2 NV (oxidation)

KClO is an oxidizing agent, NO2 is a reducing agent.
