16 HNO3 + 3 Fe(CrO2)2 → 2 H2O + 7 NO + 3 Fe(NO3)3 + 6 H2CrO4
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
7 NV + 21 e- → 7 NII (reduction)
3 FeII - 3 e- → 3 FeIII (oxidation)
6 CrIII - 18 e- → 6 CrVI (oxidation)
HNO3 is an oxidizing agent, Fe(CrO2)2 is a reducing agent, Fe(CrO2)2 is a reducing agent.
