The Pourbaix diagram for chromium in pure water, perchloric acid, or sodium hydroxide [1] [2] 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 ...
The Cr 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2 molecule contains two atoms of chromium, two ligated molecules of water, and four acetate bridging ligands.The coordination environment around each chromium atom consists of four oxygen atoms (one from each acetate ligand) in a square, one water molecule (in an axial position), and the other chromium atom (opposite the water molecule), giving each chromium centre an ...
Chromium(III) acetate, commonly known as basic chromium acetate, [2] describes a family of salts where the cation has the formula [Cr 3 O(O 2 CCH 3) 6 (OH 2) 3] +. The trichromium cation is encountered with a variety of anions, such as chloride and nitrate. Data in the table above are for the chloride hexahydrate, [Cr 3 O(O 2 CCH 3) 6 (OH 2) 3 ...
The subunits are linked by acetate and hydroxide ligands. The oxidation state of chromium is III, which explains the stability of the complex since octahedral d 3 ions give kinetically robust complexes. Overall, the complex's structure is unusual compared to other transition metal carboxylate complexes.
Further condensation reactions can occur in strongly acidic solution with the formation of trichromates, Cr 3 O 2− 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−
Alternatively and less commonly, ferrochromium alloys can be dissolved in sulfuric acid and, after precipitation of the ferrous sulfate, the chrome alum crystallizes upon addition of potassium sulfate. Chromium alum crystallizes in regular octahedra with flattened corners and is very soluble in water. The solution reddens litmus and is an ...
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.
The salt is produced by treating chromium metal with aqueous sulfuric acid: [2] Cr + H 2 SO 4 + 5 H 2 O → CrSO 4 ·5H 2 O + H 2. It can be produced through the reaction of sulfate salts and chromium(II) acetate [3] or, for in situ use, the reduction of chromium(III) sulfate with zinc. [1]
