The hydrogen chromate ion may be protonated, with the formation of molecular chromic acid, H 2 CrO 4, but the pK a for the equilibrium H 2 CrO 4 ⇌ HCrO − 4 + H + is not well characterized. Reported values vary between about −0.8 and 1.6. [4] The dichromate ion is a somewhat weaker base than the chromate ion: [5]
Partial predominance diagram for chromate. Molecular chromic acid, H 2 CrO 4, in principle, resembles sulfuric acid, H 2 SO 4. It would ionize accordingly: H 2 CrO 4 ⇌ [HCrO 4] − + H + The pK a for the equilibrium is not well characterized. Reported values vary between about −0.8 to 1.6. [4]
Potassium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 CrO 4. This yellow solid is the potassium salt of the chromate anion. It is a common laboratory chemical, whereas sodium chromate is important industrially.
Sodium chromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 CrO 4. It exists as a yellow hygroscopic solid, which can form tetra-, hexa-, and deca hydrates . It is an intermediate in the extraction of chromium from its ores.
The structure of nickel chromate is the same as for chromium vanadate, CrVO 4. Crystals have an orthorhombic structure with unit cell sizes a = 5.482 Å, b = 8.237 Å, c = 6.147 Å. The cell volume is 277.6 Å 3 with four formula per unit cell. [5] [7] Nickel chromate is dark in colour, unlike most other chromates which are yellow. [3]
Sodium chromate (Na 2 CrO 4) Chromium(VI) compounds in solution can be detected by adding an acidic hydrogen peroxide solution. The unstable dark blue chromium(VI) peroxide (CrO 5) is formed, which can be stabilized as an ether adduct CrO 5 ·OR 2. [6] Chromic acid has the hypothetical formula H 2 CrO 4. It is a vaguely described chemical ...
Caesium chromate or cesium chromate is an inorganic compound with the formula Cs 2 CrO 4. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is the caesium salt of chromic acid, and it crystallises in the orthorhombic system. Its major application in the past was for the production of caesium vapour during vacuum tube manufacture. [2]
The mineral chromite is an iron chromium oxide with empirical formula FeCr 2 O 4. Structurally, it belongs to the spinel group. Magnesium can substitute for iron in variable amounts as it forms a solid solution with magnesiochromite (MgCr 2 O 4);. [1] Zincochromite is another example.
