Is this possible???(Small doubt)

2ZnCL2 + K4[Fe(CN)6J —, Zn2[Fe(CN)6] + 4KCL

I had this doubt becoz Zn is lower than K in reactivity series

yes possible
becos complex formation of d block elements is much more favourable

It can be possible because K is more reactive than Zn, hence replaces the zinc and forms KCL. I am not sure about the strength of the coordinated bond because both K4 4+ and Zn2 4+ exhibit oxidation state enough for the bonding.
