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.
Chromitite. Chromitite is an igneous cumulate rock composed mostly of the mineral chromite. It is found in layered intrusions such as the Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa, the Stillwater igneous complex in Montana and the Ring of Fire discovery in Ontario . Chromitite typically forms as orthocumulate layered lenses in peridotite rocks ...
Uvarovite is a chromium -bearing garnet group species with the formula: Ca 3 Cr 2 ( Si O 4) 3. It was discovered in 1832 by Germain Henri Hess who named it after Count Sergei Uvarov (1765–1855), a Russian statesman and amateur mineral collector. [2] It is classified in the ugrandite group alongside the other calcium-bearing garnets andradite ...
Chromium (III) oxide is a precursor to the magnetic pigment chromium dioxide, by the following reaction: [7] Cr. 2O. 3 + 3 CrO. 3 → 5 CrO. 2 + O. 2. Along with many other oxides, it is used as a compound when polishing (also called stropping) the edges of knives, razors, surfaces of optical devices etc. on a piece of leather, balsa, cloth or ...
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). Subsequent to its formation, the chromate salt is converted to sodium dichromate, the precursor to most chromium compounds and materials.
Lead (II) chromate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Pb Cr O 4. It has a vivid yellow color and is generally insoluble. Two polymorphs of lead chromate are known, orthorhombic and the more stable monoclinic form. Monoclinic lead chromate is used in paints under the name chrome yellow, and many other names. [1]
Chromite. Chromium occurs as chromite. Chromite is a mixture of iron(II) oxide and chromium(III) oxide. Its chemical formula is FeCr 2 O 4. It is heated with sodium carbonate to make sodium chromate, iron(III) oxide, and carbon dioxide. The sodium chromate is reacted with sulfuric acid to produce sodium dichromate.
