∙ 15y agoCr(VI) should have no unpaired electrons and have no color, but when bound to oxygen, charge transfer occurs from the O 2-. CrO4 (chromate) has four oxygens which all charge transfer to the Chromium giving orange color. In Cr2O7 (dichromate) one oxygen bridges between the two Chromium atoms so each only gets charge transfer from three oxygens.

∙ 15y agoPotassium dichromate appears orange-red due to the presence of two chromium atoms in the +6 oxidation state. On the other hand, potassium chromate appears yellow as it contains only one chromium atom in the +6 oxidation state. The difference in color is due to the different chemical environments and structures of the two compounds.
Chromate and dichromate are related because dichromate is derived from chromate. Specifically, dichromate is formed when chromate undergoes oxidation. Both chromate and dichromate are commonly used as oxidizing agents in various chemical reactions.
Potassium chromate K2Cr(VI)O4 Indicates the oxidation state of the chromium component.
The name of the formula K2CrO4 is potassium chromate.
To prepare potassium chromate, start by dissolving potassium dichromate in water and then adding potassium hydroxide to adjust the pH. The solution is then heated to evaporate water, leaving behind potassium chromate crystals. Purify the crystals by recrystallization to obtain pure potassium chromate.
The formula of the dichromate ion is Cr2O72-

This is a mixture of 2K+ and Cr2O72- ions in strong sulfuric acid.2CrO4- + 2H+ ----> Cr2O72- + H2Ochromate-yellow -> dichromate-orangeNote:Potassium ions do NOT react, they are tribune-ions
In an acidic solution chromate ions are converted into dichromate ions.
Reaction of Potassium hydroxide or any potassium salt of a weak acid with chromic acid produces Potassium chromate. KOH + H2CrO4 ----> K2CrO4 + H2O K+ + H2CrO4 ----> K2CrO4 + H+
The chemical name of SnCr2O7 is tin(IV) dichromate.
The compound name for Ag2Cr2O7 is silver dichromate.
