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 about −0.8 and 1.6. [4] The dichromate ion is a somewhat weaker base than the chromate ion: [5]
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 ...
Potassium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 CrO 4. This yellow solid is the potassium salt of the chromate anion. It is a common laboratory chemical, whereas sodium chromate is important industrially.
Partial predominance diagram for chromate. Molecular chromic acid, H 2 CrO 4, in principle, resembles sulfuric acid, H 2 SO 4. It would ionize accordingly: H 2 CrO 4 ⇌ [HCrO 4] − + H + The pK a for the equilibrium is not well characterized. Reported values vary between about −0.8 to 1.6. [4]
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]
This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.
It may be formed by the salt metathesis reaction of potassium chromate and iron(III) nitrate, which gives potassium nitrate as byproduct. 2 Fe(NO 3) 3 + 3 K 2 CrO 4 → Fe 2 (CrO 4)3 + 6 KNO 3. It also can be formed by the oxidation by air of iron and chromium oxides in a basic environment: 4 Fe 2 O 3 + 6 Cr 2 O 3 + 9 O 2 → 4 Fe 2 (CrO 4) 3
Sodium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 CrO 4. It exists as a yellow hygroscopic solid, which can form tetra-, hexa-, and deca hydrates . It is an intermediate in the extraction of chromium from its ores.
