Chromium oxidation
« on: August 31, 2012, 01:18:55 PM »
I know that in acidic solution Cr2O72- and CrO42- get reduced to Cr3+, but under what conditions Cr3+ gets oxidized to CrO42-, and what conditions are required to make Cr2O72-?

Just a matter of pH:

2CrO42- + 2H+ ::equil:: Cr2O72- + H2O

Then, acidic solution=dichromate, basic solution=chromate?

Or mixture of both.
