Detailed Product Description:

Potassium Chromate is a lemon yellow compound that is in the form of a

crystalline solid, and very stable.  Soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol.

Grade/Purity:

This is ACS Reagent Grade material with a minimum purity of 99%.

Applications:

Most often used as a reagent in analytical chemistry.  Also found in enamels,

inks, and paints as a color pigment.

Potassium chromate (K2CrO4) is a yellow chemical indicator often used for

identifying concentrations of chloride ions in a salt solution with silver nitrate.

Precautions:

Potassium Chromate is very toxic and may be fatal if swallowed.  It may

also act as a carcinogen, and can create reproductive defects if inhaled or

swallowed.  It also is a strong oxidizing agent.  It may react rapidly, or

violently in the presence of organic materials.

It is a class two carcinogen and can cause cancer on inhalation.
