Most chromates are at best only slightly soluble; many we would count as insoluble. The bright yellow color of a solution suggests that it would be worth testing for chromate VI ions.
If you add some dilute sulfuric acid to a solution containing chromate VI ions, the color changes to the familiar orange of dichromate VI ions. You can't rely on this as a test for chromate VI ions, however. It might be that you have a solution containing an acid-base indicator which happens to have the same color change! This is the original "chrome yellow" paint pigment. Jim Clark Chemguide. Ligand exchange reactions involving chloride or sulfate ions The hexaaquachromium III ion is a "difficult to describe" violet-blue-grey color.
Replacement of the water by sulfate ions You can do this simply by warming some chromium III sulfate solution. Replacement of the water by chloride ions In the presence of chloride ions for example with chromium III chloride , the most commonly observed color is green. Reactions of hexaaquachromium III ions with hydroxide ions Hydroxide ions from, say, sodium hydroxide solution remove hydrogen ions from the water ligands attached to the chromium ion.
Reactions of hexaaquachromium III ions with ammonia solution The ammonia acts as both a base and a ligand. Reactions of hexaaquachromium III ions with carbonate ions If you add sodium carbonate solution to a solution of hexaaquachromium III ions, you get exactly the same precipitate as if you added sodium hydroxide solution or ammonia solution. This equilibration is also disturbed by adding base too. Figure used with permission from Wikipedia. Making potassium dichromate VI crystals Potassium dichromate crystals can be made by a combination of the reactions we've already looked at on this page.
Starting from a source of chromium III ions such as chromium III chloride solution: You add potassium hydroxide solution to give first a grey-green precipitate and then the dark green solution containing [Cr OH 6 ] 3- ions. The reduction of dichromate VI ions with zinc and an acid Dichromate VI ions for example, in potassium dichromate VI solution can be reduced to chromium III ions and then to chromium II ions using zinc and either dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.
Using potassium dichromate VI as an oxidizing agent in organic chemistry Potassium dichromate VI solution acidified with dilute sulfuric acid is commonly used as an oxidising agent in organic chemistry.
It is used to: oxidize secondary alcohols to ketones; oxidize primary alcohols to aldehydes; oxidize primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. If the alcohol is in excess, and you distil off the aldehyde as soon as it is formed, you get ethanal as the main product. Using this same reaction to make chrome alum crystals You will find chrome alum under all sorts of different names: chrome alum potassium chromium III sulfate chromium III potassium sulfate chromium III potassium sulfatewater chromium III potassium sulfate dodecahydrate.
You will also find variations on its formula. In the Lab What you do, then, is this: You start with a solution of potassium dichromate VI to which has been added some concentrated sulfuric acid. Using potassium dichromate VI as an oxidising agent in titrations Potassium dichromate VI is often used to estimate the concentration of iron II ions in solution. In practice There are advantages and disadvantages in using potassium dichromate VI.
Advantages Potassium dichromate VI can be used as a primary standard. That means that it can be made up to give a stable solution of accurately known concentration. That isn't true of potassium manganate VII. Potassium dichromate VI can be used in the presence of chloride ions as long as the chloride ions aren't present in very high concentration.
Disadvantage The main disadvantage lies in the color change. Potassium manganate VII titrations are self-indicating. As you run the potassium manganate VII solution into the reaction, the solution becomes colorless. As soon as you add as much as one drop too much, the solution becomes pink - and you know you have reached the end point.
Testing for chromate VI ions in solution Typically, you would be looking at solutions containing sodium, potassium or ammonium chromate VI.

A complete chromatographic analysis on the first fraction eluted from an anion exchange analysis containing the cationic and neutral species , showed that the radioactivity related to Cr III is distributed among several species, the most prominent being the hexaaquo ion, and that this distribution changed with time.
These polymeric species change even more slowly with storage than do the monomeric species, in agreement with published results. On storage in 0. The product from reduction in perchloric acid was relatively resistant to depolymerization. When these results are compared to those observed with the other acids Figures , some significant differences are noted. As chloride, fluoride and sulfate form very much stronger complexes with Cr III than do trifluoromethanesulfonate, perchlorate and nitrate, this is not an unexpected result.
The results reported here on the reduction of Cr VI in solutions of several oxidizing acids, not involving a conventional reducing species such as chloride, suggest that "acid", i.
Archundia et al. Thus, the role of the different anions present, which depend on the acid used, should contribute importantly, as they form complexes pseudo-esters whose stability may influence the overall kinetics of the acid-reduction process and the resulting product distributions. The results indicate that low concentrations of Cr VI are reduced by concentrated acids forming hexaaquochromium III and other complexes of Cr III , which can be separated by chromatographic methods.
The appearance of Cr III species bonded to one, two or even three anions suggests the direct participation of the anion in the electron transfer process. Thus, acidic Cr VI standard solutions and procedures for the determination of chromium in metal alloys 49 and biological materials, 50 which are based on acid dissolution of the sample in HClO 4 or another strong acid, followed by Cr VI determination using spectrophotometric or titrimetric procedures, must be used with caution due to this complicating factor of acid-induced reduction.

Introduction The acid reduction of Cr VI is a little known aspect of chromium chemistry even though the reduction of Cr VI by hydrochloric acid has been known since the discovery of the element by Vauquelin in Reaction of trace Cr VI with nitric acid solutions A set of acidic solutions of Cr VI with concentrations from 10 -7 to 10 -3 mol L -1 were prepared in nitric acid whose concentration varied from 2 to 10 -5 mol L Speciation by open column ion exchange chromatography Ion exchange columns were prepared by placing 0.
Results and Discussion The reaction of trace Cr VI with hydrochloric acid The cation exchange chromatogram of the products formed when a high specific activity 51 Cr VI solution was placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, and stored for 60 min, is shown in Figure 1. Weeks, M. Wiberg, K. Cainelli, G. Fendorf, S. Archundia, C. Total Environ. Pezzin, S. Acta , 77 , Khan, Z. Chem , 23 , This chromium II compound undergoes substitution easily, and it can exchange electrons with CrCl 3 via a chloride bridge, allowing all of the CrCl 3 to react quickly.
With molten alkali metal chlorides such as potassium chloride , CrCl 3 gives octahedral complexes of the type K 3 CrCl 6 , as well as K 3 Cr 2 Cl 9 which is also octahedral but where the two chromiums are linked via three chloride bridges. It may also be prepared from the hexahydrate, by heating with thionyl chloride which reacts with the water of hydration. The hydrated chloride may be made by dissolving the metal in hydrochloric acid.
Chromium III chloride is used as the source of chromium for many inorganic compounds of chromium, for example dibenzenechromium 0 , an analogue of ferrocene :. A significant use of CrCl 3 in organic synthesis is for the in situ preparation of chromium II chloride, a popular reagent for A reduction of alkyl halides and for B the synthesis of E -alkenyl halides. The reaction is usually performed using two moles of CrCl 3 per mole of lithium aluminium hydride , although if aqueous acidic conditions are appropriate zinc and hydrochloric acid may be sufficient.
Chromium III chloride has also been used as a Lewis acid in organic reactions, for example to catalyse the nitroso Diels-Alder reaction. Although trivalent chromium is far less poisonous than hexavalent, chromium salts are generally considered highly toxic. Avoid ingestion and inhalation of dust. Wear gloves and goggles.
