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. [3] [4]
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+
Chrome alum or Chromium(III) potassium sulfate is the potassium double sulfate of chromium. Its chemical formula is KCr(SO 4 ) 2 and it is commonly found in its dodecahydrate form as KCr(SO 4 ) 2 ·12(H 2 O).
For example, 50 g of zinc will react with oxygen to produce 62.24 g of zinc oxide, implying that the zinc has reacted with 12.24 g of oxygen (from the Law of conservation of mass): the equivalent weight of zinc is the mass which will react with eight grams of oxygen, hence 50 g × 8 g/12.24 g = 32.7 g.
Atmospheric pollutant concentrations expressed as mass per unit volume of atmospheric air (e.g., mg/m 3, μg/m 3, etc.) at sea level will decrease with increasing altitude because the atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The change of atmospheric pressure with altitude can be obtained from this equation: [2]
It is obtained on a vast scale by roasting chromium ores in air in the presence of sodium carbonate: 2Cr 2 O 3 + 4 Na 2 CO 3 + 3 O 2 → 4 Na 2 CrO 4 + 4 CO 2. This process converts the chromium into a water-extractable form, leaving behind iron oxides.
The anhydrous form of chromium(II) acetate, and also related chromium(II) carboxylates, can be prepared from chromocene: 4 RCO 2 H + 2 Cr(C 5 H 5) 2 → Cr 2 (O 2 CR) 4 + 4 C 5 H 6. This method provides anhydrous derivatives in a straightforward manner. [8] Because it is so easily prepared, Cr 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2 is a
Barium chromate has been found to be useful in many capacities. The compound is often used as a carrier for the chromium ions. One such case is the use of barium chromate as a sulfate scavenger in chromium electroplating baths. [5] Over time the chromium concentration of the bath will decrease until the bath is no longer functional.
