CAS 10060-08-9

Chromic acid (H2CrO4), calcium salt (1:1), dihydrate

Description:

Chromic acid (H2CrO4), calcium salt (1:1), dihydrate, with the CAS number 10060-08-9, is an inorganic compound that consists of calcium ions and chromate ions, combined with water molecules in a dihydrate form. This substance typically appears as a crystalline solid and is characterized by its bright yellow color due to the presence of chromium in its hexavalent state. It is soluble in water, and its solubility can lead to the release of chromate ions in solution, which are known for their oxidizing properties. The compound is often used in various industrial applications, including metal finishing, leather tanning, and as a pigment. However, it is important to note that chromates are considered hazardous due to their toxicity and potential carcinogenic effects, necessitating careful handling and disposal. The dihydrate form indicates that it contains two water molecules per formula unit, which can influence its stability and reactivity in different environments.
