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.
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 added as indicator in an Erlenmeyer flask and the end of the reaction is determined by the slight red color given by the silver chromate. In the Mohr method, named after Karl Friedrich Mohr , potassium chromate is an indicator, giving red silver chromate after all chloride ions have reacted:
This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds. There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.
Barium chromate, is a yellow sand like powder with the formula BaCrO 4. It is a known oxidizing agent and produces a green flame when heated, a result of the barium ions. It is a known oxidizing agent and produces a green flame when heated, a result of the barium ions.
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.
Potassium dichromate, K 2 Cr 2 O 7, is a common inorganic chemical reagent, most commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various laboratory and industrial applications. As with all hexavalent chromium compounds, it is acutely and chronically harmful to health.
