Chromium (VI) peroxide is a chemical compound of chromium from the group of peroxides .
Extraction and presentation
Chromium (VI) peroxide can be obtained by reacting dichromates in a sulfuric or nitric acid solution with hydrogen peroxide .
properties
Chromium (VI) peroxide is a deep blue compound that is soluble in water, ethers and esters. It is unstable in water and rapidly decomposes with the oxidation of the hydrogen peroxide, the color of the solution changing to green or purple. The blue solution is not pure chromium (VI) peroxide, but a hydroxo complex. The compound also forms complexes with other compounds such as pyridine and diethyl ether .
use
The formation of blue chromium (VI) peroxide is used as a detection reaction. For this purpose, dilute nitric acid is mixed with hydrogen peroxide and covered with diethyl ether . The ether serves as a stabilizer, otherwise the chromium peroxide will decompose again after a short time with evolution of oxygen.
