With ions of alkali metals (like Na+ or K+ or Li+)
Lead ions = Pb2+Chromate ions = CrO4-2Compound they form is Lead(II) chromate = PbCrO4
Lead chromate has a low solubility in water due to the strong electrostatic forces between the lead and chromate ions, which hold the compound together in a solid form. These forces prevent the ions from separating and dissolving in water, resulting in poor solubility.
Na2CrO4 will dissolve in water as will all sodium compounds.
In an acidic solution chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions.
When potassium chromate dissolves in water, it produces potassium ions (K⁺) and chromate ions (CrO₄²⁻).
Lead ions = Pb2+Chromate ions = CrO4-2Compound they form is Lead(II) chromate = PbCrO4
Lead chromate is sparingly soluble in water; it is slightly soluble in acids and more soluble in alkalis. However, lead chromate is considered highly toxic and should be handled with care due to its potential environmental and health risks.
When ammonium and chromate ions form a reaction, ammonium chromate is produced. Ammonium chromate is a yellow-orange solid compound that is typically used in analytical chemistry and as a chemical reagent.
Chromate salts are typically soluble in water, except for certain heavy metal chromates like lead chromate and silver chromate, which are insoluble.
It is not soluble in oils.
In Mohr's method, silver nitrate reacts with chloride ions before chromate ions due to the differing solubilities of their respective silver salts. Silver chloride (AgCl) is highly insoluble in water, leading to its immediate precipitation upon contact with chloride ions. In contrast, silver chromate (Ag2CrO4) is less soluble, meaning that the reaction with chromate ions occurs only after all available chloride ions have been precipitated as AgCl. This selective reaction allows for accurate titration and detection of chloride ions.
Yes, ammonium chromate is soluble in water, with a solubility of 60 g/L at room temperature.
