  2. Potassium dichromate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_dichromate

    Potassium dichromate, K 2 Cr 2 O 7, is a common inorganic chemical reagent, most commonly used as an oxidizing agent in various laboratory and industrial applications. As with all hexavalent chromium compounds, it is acutely and chronically harmful to health.

  3. Breathalyzer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathalyzer

    The metabolization rate of related patients with kidney damage is abnormal in relation to percent in alcohol in the breath. However, since potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizer, numerous alcohol groups can be oxidized by kidney and blood filtration, producing false positives. [19]

  4. 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.

  5. Chrome alum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_alum

    Chrome alum. Chromium alum is produced from chromate salts or from ferrochromium alloys. Concentrated aqueous solutions of potassium dichromate can be reduced, usually with sulfur dioxide but also with alcohols or formaldehyde, in the presence of sulfuric acid at temperatures <40 °C.

  6. Jones oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_oxidation

    For oxidations to the aldehydes and ketones, two equivalents of chromic acid oxidize three equivalents of the alcohol: 2 HCrO 4 − + 3 RR'C(OH)H + 8 H + + 4 H 2 O → 2 [Cr(H 2 O) 6] 3+ + 3 RR'CO. For oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids, 4 equivalents of chromic acid oxidize 3 equivalents of the alcohol. The aldehyde is an ...

  7. Chromyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromyl_chloride

    Chromyl chloride can be prepared by the reaction of potassium chromate or potassium dichromate with hydrogen chloride in the presence of sulfuric acid, followed by distillation. [3] [4] K 2 Cr 2 O 7 + 6 HCl → 2 CrO 2 Cl 2 + 2 KCl + 3 H 2 O. The sulfuric acid serves as the dehydration agent.
