The chromate and dichromate ions are fairly strong oxidizing agents. Commonly three electrons are added to a chromium atom, reducing it to oxidation state +3. 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.
Sodium dichromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 Cr 2 O 7.However, the salt is usually handled as its dihydrate Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 ·2H 2 O.Virtually all chromium ore is processed via conversion to sodium dichromate and virtually all compounds and materials based on chromium are prepared from this salt.

The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

Silver dichromate is a chemical compound with the formula Ag 2 Cr 2 O 7. It is insoluble in water and decomposes when treated with hot water. Its anion has a charge of -2.
Strontium chromate is approximately 30 times more soluble in water at 100 °C than at room temperature. Therefore, the yellow strontium chromate can be suspended in a hot solution of a soluble sulfate to digest until fully converted to the much less soluble and white strontium sulfate, leaving the chromate or dichromate in solution.
The change in equilibrium is visible by a change from yellow (chromate) to orange (dichromate), such as when an acid is added to a neutral solution of potassium chromate. At yet lower pH values, further condensation to more complex oxyanions of chromium is possible. Both the chromate and dichromate anions are strong oxidizing reagents at low pH ...
A dianion is an anion with a net charge of −2. While there exist many stable molecular dianions, such as BeF 4 2− and MgF 4 2− , [ 1 ] thus far no stable atomic dianion has been found: Electron shielding and other quantum mechanical effects tend to make the addition of another electron to an atomic anion unstable.
