    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium(III)_chloride

    Chromium(III) chloride (also called chromic chloride) is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula Cr Cl 3.It forms several hydrates with the formula CrCl 3 ·nH 2 O, among which are hydrates where n can be 5 (chromium(III) chloride pentahydrate CrCl 3 ·5H 2 O) or 6 (chromium(III) chloride hexahydrate CrCl 3 ·6H 2 O).

  3. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

    Anhydrous chromium(III) chloride (CrCl 3) A large number of chromium(III) compounds are known, such as chromium(III) nitrate, chromium(III) acetate, and chromium(III) oxide. [8] Chromium(III) can be obtained by dissolving elemental chromium in acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, but it can also be formed through the reduction of ...

    A large number of chromium(III) compounds are known, such as chromium(III) nitrate, chromium(III) acetate, and chromium(III) oxide. [33] Chromium(III) can be obtained by dissolving elemental chromium in acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid , but it can also be formed through the reduction of chromium(VI) by cytochrome c7 .

  6. Chromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromism

    In chemistry, chromism is a process that induces a change, often reversible, in the colors of compounds. In most cases, chromism is based on a change in the electron states of molecules, especially the π- or d-electron state, so this phenomenon is induced by various external stimuli which can alter the electron density of substances. It is ...

    Is the chromium(II) hydroxide more green than the chromium(III) hydroxide, which is why the brown color comes out. --Chemicalinterest 19:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC) To Stone: I think that the reaction of chromium with hydrochloric acid forms chromium(II) chloride; it becomes oxidized over time to form chromium(III) oxide.

  8. Chromic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromic_acid

    Because the oxidation is signaled by a color change from orange to brownish green (indicating chromium being reduced from oxidation state +6 to +3), chromic acid is commonly used as a lab reagent in high school or undergraduate college chemistry as a qualitative analytical test for the presence of primary or secondary alcohols, or aldehydes.
