The cyanide needs increased to 6 molecules. (It is not “poisonous” enough to balance the equation).

 

 10K4Fe(CN)6Potassiumferrocyanide +122KMnO4Potassium permanganate +  199H2SO4Sulphuric acid 162KHSO4Potassium bisulphate +  5Fe2(SO4)3ferric sulphate   + 122MnSO4Manganese(II)sulphate +  60HNO3Nitric acid  + 60CO2Carbon dioxide +  188H2Owater

It is a pretty tough one to balance. Here is a helpful website:

Ginger your post is very colourful and arty, a little French in origin perhaps?

Your grand total of 2 points looks a little pathetic so I will more than double your points for you.

It is not often that one of my thumbs can have such a dramatic effect.

But, this is the magical land of Camelot, and I am the Lady of the Land.
