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.
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+
10, and tetrachromates, Cr 4 O 2− 13. [2] All polyoxyanions of chromium(VI) have structures made up of tetrahedral CrO 4 units sharing corners. [3] The hydrogen chromate ion, HCrO 4 −, is a weak acid: HCrO − 4 ⇌ CrO 2− 4 + H +; pK a ≈ 5.9. It is also in equilibrium with the dichromate ion: 2 HCrO − 4 ⇌ Cr 2 O 2− 7 + H 2 O
Potassium peroxochromate (K 3 [Cr(O 2) 4]) is made by reacting potassium chromate with hydrogen peroxide at low temperatures. This red brown compound is stable at room temperature but decomposes spontaneously at 150–170 °C. [38]
Hydrazoic acid – HN 3; Hydroiodic acid – HI; Hydrogen bromide – HBr; Hydrogen chloride – HCl; Hydrogen cyanide – HCN; Hydrogen fluoride – HF; Hydrogen peroxide – H 2 O 2; Hydrogen selenide – H 2 Se; Hydrogen sulfide – H 2 S; Hydrogen telluride – H 2 Te; Hydroxylamine – NH 2 OH; Hypobromous acid – HBrO; Hypochlorous acid ...
Although insoluble in water, it reacts with acid to produce salts of hydrated chromium ions such as [Cr(H 2 O) 6] 3+. [10] It is also attacked by concentrated alkali to yield salts of [Cr(OH) 6] 3−. When heated with finely divided carbon or aluminium, it is reduced to chromium metal: Cr 2 O 3 + 2 Al → 2 Cr + Al 2 O 3
The formula, Cu 2 CO 3 (OH) 2 shows that it is halfway between copper carbonate and copper hydroxide. Indeed, in the past the formula was written as CuCO 3 ·Cu(OH) 2. The crystal structure is made up of copper, carbonate and hydroxide ions. [37] The mineral atacamite is an example of a basic chloride. It has the formula, Cu 2 Cl(OH) 3.
Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.
