If potassium ferrocyanide, K₄[Fe(CN)₆], is added to a strongly acidic solution, toxic hydrogen cyanide gas, HCN, is produced. Balance the following equation, which represents this reaction:
cyanide, HCN, gas is produced. Balance the following equation, which represents this reaction: K₄[Fe(CN)₆] + HCl→HCN + KCl + FeCl₂
Is this reaction an example of a redox reaction? Why or why not?
