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 ·2 H 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. [ 1 ]

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
Chromium trioxide is generated by treating sodium dichromate with sulfuric acid: [6] H 2 SO 4 + Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 → 2 CrO 3 + Na 2 SO 4 + H 2 O. Approximately 100,000 tonnes are produced annually by this or similar routes. [7] The solid consists of chains of tetrahedrally coordinated chromium atoms that share vertices.
For lab and small scale preparations a mixture of chromite ore, sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate reacting at lower temperatures may be used (even 350 C in the corresponding potassium chromate system). [2] Subsequent to its formation, the chromate salt is converted to sodium dichromate, the precursor to most chromium compounds and materials. [3]
