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.
In acid solution the aquated Cr 3+ ion is produced. Cr 2 O 2− 7 + 14 H + + 6 e − → 2 Cr 3+ + 7 H 2 O ε 0 = 1.33 V. In alkaline solution chromium(III) hydroxide is produced. The redox potential shows that chromates are weaker oxidizing agent in alkaline solution than in acid solution. [6] CrO 2− 4 + 4 H 2 O + 3 e − → Cr(OH) 3 + 5 OH −
The Cr 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2 molecule contains two atoms of chromium, two ligated molecules of water, and four acetate bridging ligands.The coordination environment around each chromium atom consists of four oxygen atoms (one from each acetate ligand) in a square, one water molecule (in an axial position), and the other chromium atom (opposite the water molecule), giving each chromium centre an ...
The formula of this compound can be written more descriptively as [Cr(H 2 O) 6] 2 (SO 4) 3 ·6H 2 O. Six of the eighteen water molecules in this formula unit are water of crystallization. Hydrated chromium(III) sulfate, Cr 2 (SO 4 ) 3 ·15(H 2 O), (CAS #10031-37-5) is a green solid that also readily dissolves in water.
Chromium(III) hydroxide is a gelatinous green inorganic compound with the chemical formula Cr(OH) 3. It is a polymer with an undefined structure and low solubility. It is amphoteric, dissolving in both strong alkalis and strong acids. [2] In alkali: Cr(OH) 3 + OH − → CrO − 2 + 2 H 2 O In acid: Cr(OH) 3 (OH 2) 3 + 3 H + → Cr(OH 2) 6 3+
Potassium peroxochromate is prepared by treating potassium chromate with hydrogen peroxide at 0 °C: . 2 CrO 2− 4 + 8 H 2 O 2 → 2 [Cr(O 2) 4] 2− + 8 H 2 O. The intermediate tetraperoxochromate(VI) is reduced by hydrogen peroxide, forming tetraperoxochromate(V): [3] [4]
Chromium(III) acetate, commonly known as basic chromium acetate, [2] describes a family of salts where the cation has the formula [Cr 3 O(O 2 CCH 3) 6 (OH 2) 3] +. The trichromium cation is encountered with a variety of anions, such as chloride and nitrate. Data in the table above are for the chloride hexahydrate, [Cr 3 O(O 2 CCH 3) 6 (OH 2) 3 ...
