Two crystalline forms are known, both being very similar to the corresponding potassium sulfate. Orthorhombic β-K 2 CrO 4 is the common form, but it converts to an α-form above 66 °C. [1] These structures are complex, although the chromate ion adopts the typical tetrahedral geometry. [2]
2 CrO 2− 4 + 2 H + ⇌ Cr 2 O 2− 7 + H 2 O. The predominance diagram shows that the position of the equilibrium depends on both pH and the analytical concentration of chromium. [notes 1] The chromate ion is the predominant species in alkaline solutions, but dichromate can become the predominant ion in acidic solutions.
Potassium chlorochromate is an inorganic compound with the formula KCrO 3 Cl. [4] It is the potassium salt of chlorochromate, [CrO 3 Cl] −. It is a water-soluble orange compound is used occasionally for oxidation of organic compounds. It is sometimes called Péligot's salt, in recognition of its discoverer Eugène-Melchior Péligot.
Chromic acid has the hypothetical formula H 2 CrO 4. It is a vaguely described chemical, despite many well-defined chromates and dichromates being known. The dark red chromium(VI) oxide CrO 3, the acid anhydride of chromic acid, is sold industrially as "chromic acid". [6] It can be produced by mixing sulfuric acid with dichromate and is a ...
Potassium dichromate, K 2 Cr 2 O 7, is a common inorganic chemical reagent, most commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various laboratory and industrial applications. As with all hexavalent chromium compounds, it is acutely and chronically harmful to health. It is a crystalline ionic solid with a very bright, red-orange color.
Chrome alum. Chromium alum is produced from chromate salts or from ferrochromium alloys. Concentrated aqueous solutions of potassium dichromate can be reduced, usually with sulfur dioxide but also with alcohols or formaldehyde, in the presence of sulfuric acid at temperatures <40 °C.
Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide is the name given to a collection of chromium coordination complexes. They have the formula CrO(O 2) 2 L where L is a ligand. These species are dark blue and often labile. They all feature oxo ligand and two peroxo ligands, with the remaining coordination sites occupied by water, hydroxide, ether, or other Lewis ...
Structure of tetrachromic acid H 2 Cr 4 O 13 ·2H 2 O, one component of concentrated "chromic acid". The H-atom positions are calculated, not observed. Color code: red = O, white = H, blue = Cr. [7] Higher chromic acids with the formula H 2 Cr n O (3n+1) are probable components of concentrated solutions of chromic acid.
