Chromium hydroxide

Japanese: 水酸化クロム - すいさんかくろむ(英語表記)chromium hydroxide
Chromium hydroxide

It is a hydroxide of chromium, but divalent and trivalent chromium compounds are known.

(1) Chromium(II) hydroxide: Chemical formula Cr(OH) 2 , weight 86.2. A yellow precipitate obtained by adding an alkali to an air-free aqueous solution of chromium(II) salt. When dried over sulfuric acid while passing hydrogen through it becomes a brown powder. Insoluble in water and dilute acids. A strong reducing agent.

(2) Chromium(III) hydroxide Its chemical formula is Cr(OH) 3 and formula weight is 103.03, but in practice it is difficult to obtain this composition . When an aqueous solution of chromium(III) salt is neutralized by adding an alkali and then hydrolyzed, a gray-green precipitate of chromium(III) oxide hydrate CrO3.nH2O is produced, which is generally called chromium(III) hydroxide . It is insoluble in water. When newly produced, it is easily soluble in acid, but becomes less soluble if left for a long time. It is an amphoteric substance that dissolves in alkali hydroxide. Both (1) and (2) are dehydrated to chromium(III) oxide when heated in air.

クロムの水酸化物であるが、二価および三価クロムの化合物が知られている。

(1)水酸化クロム(Ⅱ) 化学式Cr(OH)2、式量86.2。空気を断ったクロム(Ⅱ)塩水溶液にアルカリを加えて得られる黄色沈殿。水素を通じながら硫酸上で乾燥すると褐色粉末となる。水および希酸に不溶。強い還元剤である。

(2)水酸化クロム(Ⅲ) 化学式Cr(OH)3、式量103.03となるが、実際にはこの組成のものを得るのは困難で、クロム(Ⅲ)塩水溶液にアルカリを加えて中性にし、加水分解させると、灰緑色の酸化クロム(Ⅲ)水和物CrO3nH2Oの沈殿を生じ、これを一般に水酸化クロム(Ⅲ)とよんでいる。水に不溶。生成したばかりのものは酸に易溶であるが、長時間放置すると溶けにくくなる。水酸化アルカリには溶ける両性物質。(1)、(2)とも空気中で熱すれば脱水されて酸化クロム(Ⅲ)となる。
