Chromium compounds are compounds containing the element chromium (Cr). Chromium is a member of group 6 of the transition metals. The +3 and +6 states occur most commonly within chromium compounds, followed by +2; charges of +1, +4 and +5 for chromium are rare, but do nevertheless occasionally exist. [3] [4]
The red line on the predominance diagram is not quite horizontal due to the simultaneous equilibrium with the chromate ion. The hydrogen chromate ion may be protonated, with the formation of molecular chromic acid, H 2 CrO 4, but the pK a for the equilibrium H 2 CrO 4 ⇌ HCrO − 4 + H + is not well characterized. Reported values vary between ...
Chromate and dichromate have equal concentrations. Setting [CrO 2− 4] equal to [Cr 2 O 2− 7] in Eq. 3 gives [CrO 2− 4] = 1 / β 2 [H +] 2 . The predominance diagram is interpreted as follows. The chromate ion is the predominant species in the region to the right of the green and blue lines. Above pH ~6.75 it is always the ...
Loss of the second proton occurs in the pH range 4–8, making the ion [HCrO 4] − a weak acid. [citation needed] Molecular chromic acid could in principle be made by adding chromium trioxide to water (cf. manufacture of sulfuric acid). CrO 3 + H 2 O ⇌ H 2 CrO 4. In practice, the reverse reaction occurs: molecular chromic acid dehydrates ...
A chromate ester is a chemical structure that contains a chromium atom (symbol Cr) in a +6 oxidation state that is connected via an oxygen (O) linkage to a carbon (C) atom. The Cr itself is in its chromate form, with several oxygens attached, and the Cr–O–C attachment makes this chemical group structurally similar to other ester functional groups.
The Pourbaix diagram for chromium in pure water, perchloric acid, or sodium hydroxide [27] [28] Chromium is a member of group 6, of the transition metals. The +3 and +6 states occur most commonly within chromium compounds, followed by +2; charges of +1, +4 and +5 for chromium are rare, but do nevertheless occasionally exist. [29] [30]
The phosphite ion, PO 3− 3, is a strong base, and so always carries at least one proton. In this case the proton is attached directly to the phosphorus atom with the structure HPO 2− 3. In forming this ion, the phosphite ion is behaving as a Lewis base and donating a pair of electrons to the Lewis acid, H +. Predominance diagram for chromate
The structure of nickel chromate is the same as for chromium vanadate, CrVO 4. Crystals have an orthorhombic structure with unit cell sizes a = 5.482 Å, b = 8.237 Å, c = 6.147 Å. The cell volume is 277.6 Å 3 with four formula per unit cell. [5] [7] Nickel chromate is dark in colour, unlike most other chromates which are yellow. [3]
