2 K4Fe(CN)6 + 43 MnO2 + 100 HCl → 43 MnCl2 + 2 FeCl3 + 8 KCl + 12 NO + 12 CO2 + 50 H2O
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
43 MnIV + 86 e- → 43 MnII (reduction)
12 CII - 24 e- → 12 CIV (oxidation)
12 N-III - 60 e- → 12 NII (oxidation)
2 FeII - 2 e- → 2 FeIII (oxidation)
MnO2 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.
