PEYOTE:
10K4Fe(CN)6 + 218H2SO4 + 122KMnO4 ---> 5Fe2(SO4)3 + 81K2SO4 + 60HNO3 + 60CO2 + 122 MnSO4 + 188H2O

obituary:
that's a fav. of swim's old chem. teacher, always threw the students for a loop. swim was the only one in the class to balance the equation, now he just looks it up in a book. or posts it as a question for every other bee to solve. :)

Rhodium:
Yes, that's correct. The answer is 10 K4Fe(CN)6 + 218 H2SO4 + 122 KMnO4 --> 5 Fe2(SO4)3 + 81 K2SO4 + 122 MnSO4 + 60 HNO3 + 60 CO2 + 188 H2O (No ozone).

It is a pretty fantastic reaction, coefficient-wise.
