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+
Cr 2 O 3 + 3 CrO 3 → 5 CrO 2 + O 2. Along with many other oxides, it is used as a compound when polishing (also called stropping) the edges of knives, razors, surfaces of optical devices etc. on a piece of leather, balsa, cloth or other material. It is available in powder or wax form, and in this context it is known as "green compound".
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 −
[3] Aqueous chromium(VI) oxide peroxide decomposes in a few seconds, turning green as chromium(III) compounds are formed. [4] 2 CrO(O 2) 2 + 7 H 2 O 2 + 6 H + → 2 Cr 3+ + 10 H 2 O + 7 O 2. Stable adducts of the type CrO(O 2) 2 L include those with L = diethyl ether, 1-butanol, ethyl acetate, or amyl acetate. They form by adding a layer of the ...
Naturally occurring chromium is composed of four stable isotopes; 50 Cr, 52 Cr, 53 Cr and 54 Cr, with 52 Cr being the most abundant (83.789% natural abundance). 50 Cr is observationally stable , as it is theoretically capable of decaying to 50 Ti via double electron capture with a half-life of no less than 1.3 × 10 18 years.
