It is the acidic anhydride of chromic acid, and is sometimes marketed under the same name. [6] This compound is a dark-purple solid under anhydrous conditions and bright orange when wet. The substance dissolves in water accompanied by hydrolysis. [clarification needed] Millions of kilograms are produced annually, mainly for electroplating. [7]
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
Loss of the second proton occurs in the pH range 4–8, making the ion [HCrO 4] − a weak acid. [citation needed] Molecular chromic acid could in principle be made by adding chromium trioxide to water (cf. manufacture of sulfuric acid). CrO 3 + H 2 O ⇌ H 2 CrO 4. In practice, the reverse reaction occurs: molecular chromic acid dehydrates ...
Structure of CrO(O 2) 2 (pyridine).Hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms are omitted. Color code: Cr = gray, C= black, H = white, O= red, N = blue. Chromium(VI) oxide peroxide is formed by the addition of acidified hydrogen peroxide solutions to solutions of metal chromates or dichromates, such as sodium chromate or potassium dichromate.
It is readily oxidized by the atmosphere. CrO is basic, while CrO 3 is acidic, and Cr 2 O 3 is amphoteric. [3] CrO occurs in the spectra of luminous red novae, which occur when two stars collide. It is not known why red novae are the only objects that feature this molecule; one possible explanation is an as-yet-unknown nucleosynthesis process. [4]

Three employees at a Maryland Cracker Barrel have reportedly been dismissed after staff refused to seat a group of students with special needs on Dec. 3
[notes 1] The chromate ion is the predominant species in alkaline solutions, but dichromate can become the predominant ion in acidic solutions. 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]
