Question

Describe manufacturing process of k2cr2o7 from chromite ore with chemical equation

Answer 1

Potassium dichromate is usually prepared by the reaction of potassium chloride on sodium dichromate. Alternatively, it can be also obtained from potassium chromate by roasting chromite ore with potassium hydroxide. It is soluble in water and in the dissolution process it ionizes: K2Cr2O7 → 2 K+ + Cr2O.
