Hazard InformationBack Directory
[General Description]

POTASSIUM CHROMATE(7789-00-6) is a yellow crystalline solid. POTASSIUM CHROMATE(7789-00-6) is soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. POTASSIUM CHROMATE(7789-00-6) is used in chemical analysis, in making pigments for paints and inks, as a fungicide, and to make other chromium compounds.
[Reactivity Profile]

Oxidizing agents, such as POTASSIUM CHROMATE, can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing pressurization of closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion in the air). The chemical reduction of materials in this group can be rapid or even explosive, but often requires initiation (heat, spark, catalyst, addition of a solvent). Explosive mixtures of inorganic oxidizing agents with reducing agents often persist unchanged for long periods if initiation is prevented. Such systems are typically mixtures of solids, but may involve any combination of physical states. Some inorganic oxidizing agents are salts of metals that are soluble in water; dissolution dilutes but does not nullify the oxidizing power of such materials. Organic compounds, in general, have some reducing power and can in principle react with compounds in this class. Actual reactivity varies greatly with the identity of the organic compound. Inorganic oxidizing agents can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates.
[Air & Water Reactions]

Soluble in water.
[Hazard]

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation.
[Health Hazard]

Inhalation causes local irritation of mucous membranes; continuing nose irritation can result in perforation of nasal septum. Ingestion may cause violent gastroenteritis, circulatory collapse, vertigo, coma, and toxic nephritis; ingestion of excessive quantities can be fatal. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and conjunctivitis. Repeated or prolonged exposure to dust, mist, or solutions may cause dermatitis; contact with breaks in the skin may cause ``chrome sores'' appearing as slow-healing, hard-rimmed ulcers which leave the area vulnerable to infection.
[Potential Exposure]

Potassium chromate is used in printing: photomechanical processing; chrome-pigment production; and wool preservative methods; to make dyes, pigments, inks and enamels; as an oxidizing agent; analytical reagent; in electroplating; explosives.
[Fire Hazard]

Behavior in Fire: May increase intensity of fire if in contact with combustible materials. Cool containers and spilled material with plenty of water.
[First aid]

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

[Inorganic compound]

Potassium chromate, commonly known as tarapacaite, is an inorganic compound, which is yellow orthorhombic or hexagonal crystal at room temperature. The relative density is 2.732, and the melting point is 968 °C. It is toxic and can disolve in water to form alkaline chromate ion hydrolysis solution. And it is insoluble in alcohol and ether. After added acid, the yellow solution of potassium chromate will turn orange, which is the color of dichromate. There is an equilibrium between the conversion of chromate and dichromate in the solution:
When the acid is added to the potassium chromate solution, the equilibrium will shift toward the direction of generating potassium dichromate, and when the alkali is added to the potassium dichromate solution, the equilibrium will shift to the direction of generating potassium chromate. Potassium chromate has oxidative properties, and it can react with the reducing agent in alkaline medium to form Cr(OH)4-(namely CrO¬2-). Adding different solutions respectively containing barium ion, lead ion and silver ion to the potassium chromate solution will form the corresponding insoluble chromate: barium chromate BaCrO4 (yellow), lead chromate pbCrO4 (yellow), silver chromate Ag2CrO4(Brick red). And the presence of chromate ions can be demonstrated by the characteristic color of these insoluble chromates. Potassium chromate can be used as analytical reagent, oxidant, mordant, metal rust inhibitor, and used for barium and silver trace analysis. It can also be used as raw materials of tanning and medicine industry and other chromium compounds. Chromite Fe(CrO2)2 powder can be used as raw material and calcined with potassium hydroxide, limestone (dolomite) in the air, and then extracted with potassium sulfate solution to obtain potassium chromate.

[Potassium chromate indicator method]

Potassium chromate indicator method, also known as Moore (Mohr), is a precipitation titration method (silver method) that uses potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as indicator and silver nitrate (AgNO3) as the standard solution. This method is mainly used for the determination of chlorine Ion (Cl-) or bromide ion (Br-). Add a small amount of K2CrO4 as indicator before stating determination, and then titrate with AgNO3 standard solution. After the start of the titration, the precipitate of white (silver chloride) or pale yellow (silver bromide) precipitates first. When Cl-or Br-precipitates quantitatively, a little excess silver nitrate solution will cause the concentration of Ag+ suddenly increasing to immediately generate brick red silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) precipitation, indicating the titration endpoint. The amount of indicator and the acidity of the solution are two major problems of this titration method. If the K2CrO4 concentration is too high, the color of the titration solution will be too deep to hinder the observation of Ag2CrO4 precipitation color in the end; if the K2CrO4 concentration is too low, an excessively considerable amount of silver nitrate solution will be needed after the quantitative precipitation of silver halide to generate silver chromate precipitation to instruct the titration end point, which will results the titration error increasing. When the 0.1mol/l AgNO3 solution is used to titrate the 0.1mol/l halide, if the concentration of K2CrO4 is 5× 10-3mol/l, the end point error is only +0.06%, which can be thought that the accuracy of the analysis result is not affected. K2CrO4 indicator method can not be carried out in acidic or alkaline solution, because K2CrO4 will be converted to potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) at a small pH value, and Ag+ will precipitate in the form of silver oxide (Ag2O) when the pH is too high. Commonly, the suitable acidity range is pH = 6.5~ 10.5, but when there are ammonium salts in solution, the solution acidity pH = 6.5~7.2 is appropriate.
The potassium chromate indicator method can only be used for the direct titration of Cl-or Br-ions, and the titration result is their total when coexisting. This method is not suitable for the determination of iodide ion (I-) or thiocyanate ion (SCN-), because they are too easily absorbed by sedimentation and the end point is unclear. This method is also not suitable for titrating Ag+ with Cl-, but Ag+ can be determined using the back titration, namely add an excessive amount of NaCl standard solution in the test solution, and then use AgNO3 standard solution to titrate excess Cl-ions. In the solution, all the cations that can form precipitates with CrO2-4 or the anions that can precipitate with Ag+ will interfere with the determination. Potassium chromate indicator method is mainly used for the determination of the Cl-ions in very dilute solution, such as the determination of Cl-in drinking water and industrial products impurities.
[Potassium dichromate]

Potassium dichromate, also known as red alum potassium, is orange-red triclinic crystal or needle-like crystal. The density is 2.676 g/cm3. The melting temperature is 398 °C. It is soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. It has strong oxidizing property and decomposes at 1300 °C.
In production, potassium dichromate is always used to introduce chromium to make the enamel colored when melting. It is the coloring agent of colored titanium milk yellow glaze and titanium yellow glaze, and the used dosage is generally 0.06%~0.12%. Potassium dichromate and copper oxide can also be mix-used to obtain green, bamboo green, fruit green and other color glaze. However, these colored glazes are generally less glossy due to the influence of chromate.
The color glaze obtained from chromium oxide or potassium (sodium) dichromate often is yellow-green due to the valence change of chromium ions in the melting process. Potassium dichromate is also commonly used to make various green pigments and pink pigments.
Potassium dichromate should meet the required targets: potassium dichromate content ≥ 99%, chloride (Cl) content ≤ 0.08%, water insoluble ≤ 0.05%.
