. can u give me balanced equation potassium permanganate+antimonychloride+Hcl gives kcl+mncl2+sbcl5+h2o?

Potassium permanganate is KMnO4
Antimony chloride is either SbCl3 or SbCl5
It looks like you are oxidizing the antimony from valence 3 to 5, so you're starting with SbCl3, and starting from Mn+7 and reducing it to Mn+2
SbCl3 + KMnO4 + ? ====> KCl + MnCl2 + SbCl5 + H2O
But there are some things missing/not displayed in your question, so I'm not sure what else is going on.
But here are some critical half-reactions involved:
Sb+3 ===> Sb+5 + 2e-
Mn+7 + 5 e- ===> Mn+2
Balance those reactions, and the rest should follow.

youd need to figure out what charges are on the molecules first and then what side of the equation is what

This the answer for your question:
2KMnO4+5SbCl3+16HClâ 2KCl+2MnCl2+5SbCl5+8H20
