  2. Sodium dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_dichromate

    Sodium dichromate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na 2 Cr 2 O 7. However, the salt is usually handled as its dihydrate Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 ·2 H 2 O . Virtually all chromium ore is processed via conversion to sodium dichromate and virtually all compounds and materials based on chromium are prepared from this salt. [ 1 ]

  3. Birch reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch_reduction

    The Birch reduction is an organic reaction that is used to convert arenes to 1,4-cyclohexadienes.The reaction is named after the Australian chemist Arthur Birch and involves the organic reduction of aromatic rings in an amine solvent (traditionally liquid ammonia) with an alkali metal (traditionally sodium) and a proton source (traditionally an alcohol).

  4. Chemical coloring of metals - Wikipedia

    Boil a solution of 20 g ammonium molybdate and 5 g of sodium thiosulfate in a liter of water, immerse the objects, rinse, dry, wax or lacquer after the development of color. [31] Lustre colours. Use a solution of 280 g of sodium thiosulphate, 25 g of cupric acetate and 30 g of citric acid. It can be used on copper and its alloys, silver, nickel ...

  5. Chromate and dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromate_and_dichromate

    Predominance diagram for chromate. In aqueous solution, chromate and dichromate anions exist in a chemical equilibrium.. 2 CrO 2− 4 + 2 H + ⇌ Cr 2 O 2− 7 + H 2 O. The predominance diagram shows that the position of the equilibrium depends on both pH and the analytical concentration of chromium.

  6. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols. Secondary alcohols form ketones, while primary alcohols form aldehydes or carboxylic acids. [1] A variety of oxidants can be used.

  7. Chromium trioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_trioxide

    Chromium trioxide is generated by treating sodium dichromate with sulfuric acid: [6] H 2 SO 4 + Na 2 Cr 2 O 7 → 2 CrO 3 + Na 2 SO 4 + H 2 O. Approximately 100,000 tonnes are produced annually by this or similar routes. [7] The solid consists of chains of tetrahedrally coordinated chromium atoms that share vertices.

  8. Passivation (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passivation_(chemistry)

    Sodium dichromate is often required as an additive to oxidise the chromium in certain 'types' of nitric-based acid baths, however this chemical is highly toxic. With citric acid, simply rinsing and drying the part and allowing the air to oxidise it, or in some cases the application of other chemicals, is used to perform the passivation of the ...

  9. Chromate conversion coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromate_conversion_coating

    The chromate coating process starts with a redox reaction between the hexavalent chromium and the metal. [2] In the case of aluminum, for example, Cr 6+ + Al 0 → Cr 3+ + Al 3+ The resulting trivalent cations react with hydroxide ions in water to form the corresponding hydroxides, or a solid solution of both hydroxides: Cr 3+ + 3 OH − → Cr ...
