Equations Potassium dichromate

Thus under standard conditions chloride ions are not oxidised to chlorine by dichromate(Vr) ions. However, it is necessary to emphasise that changes in the concentration of the dichromate(VI) and chloride ions alters their redox potentials as indicated by the Nernst equation. Hence, when concentrated hydrochloric acid is added to solid potassium dichromate and the mixture warmed, chlorine is liberated.

A solution of potassium dichromate is made basic with sodium hydroxide the color changes from red to yellow. Addition of silver nitrate to the yellow solution gives a precipitate.

Example Potassium dichromate (VI) is an important oxidising agent that only works in an acidic medium. It is reduced to chromium (III) ions, whilst the H+(aq) ions from the acid end up as water. Each Cr atom undergoes a 3-electron reduction, but every dichromate ion contains 2 Cr atoms. Therefore 6 electrons appear on the left-hand side of the half-equation ... 

From this equation it follows that the equivalent weight of potassium dichromate is l/6th of the molecular weight i.e., 294.22/6 or 49.03 g. 

The equation shows that alcohol in the form of ethanol reacts with an orange solution of potassium dichromate to produce a green solution of chromic sulfate. The source of alcohol is the suspect s breath. More alcohol produces a greater color change. The breath analyzer measures this color change and coverts this measurement into an amount of alcohol in the blood.

The formation and decomposition of Crv in aqueous and non-aqueous media during the oxidation of organic substrates such as oxalic acid and ethylene glycol by potassium dichromate has been recognized for some time. No study resulted in the isolation of a stable, well-characterized chromium(V) complex until 1978 when potassium bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylbutyrato)oxochromate(V) monohydrate was prepared from chromium trioxide and the tertiary a-hydroxy acid in dilute perchloric acid according to equation (91). The Crv, which is... 

An alternative to the oxidation-number method for balancing redox reactions is the half-reaction method. The key to this method is to realize that the overall reaction can be broken into two parts, or half-reactions. One half-reaction describes the oxidation part of the process, and the other half-reaction describes the reduction part. Each half is balanced separately, and the two halves are then added to obtain the final equation. Let s look at the reaction of aqueous potassium dichromate (K2Cr2C>7) with aqueous NaCl to see how the method works. The reaction occurs in acidic solution according to the unbalanced net ionic equation...

In ethanol-acetic acid the 2,10-dihydro- 10-methyl-3-phenylpyridazino[3,4-6]quinoxalines (68) cannot be reduced.

Nitroso compounds are oxidized to nitro compounds by hydrogen peroxide or its derivatives and also by potassium dichromate (equation 485) [655]. 

Because nitroso compounds cannot be prepared by the reduction of nitro compounds, the oxidation of hydroxylamines is often the best way for their preparation. Nitroso compounds are obtained by treatment of hydroxylamines with silver oxide [373], silver carbonate [37S], sodium dichromate [645], potassium dichromate [657], manganese dioxide [ 76], and diethyl azodicarboxylate [978] (equation 487). 

The presence of an amino group on an aromatic ring often results in oxidation of the ring to a quinone. The classical and industrial method is the treatment of anilines with potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid. Thus, aniline at room temperature is converted into p-benzoquinone in 86% yield [647], and 2,5-dimethylaniline at 80 °C gives a 55% yield of p-xyloquinone [648. A specific reagent for such oxidations is the Fremy salt, potassium nitrosodisulfonate (equation 528) [490. The oxidation of the amino group takes place even if it is acylated (equation 529) [1190. ... 

Aminonaphthols are converted into naphthoquinones [1191, 1192, 1193 by nitric acid [1193], by potassium dichromate [1191, or by ferric chloride [1192 (equations 532 and 533). 

Oxidation-reduction reactions Many organic compounds can be converted to other compounds by oxidation and reduction reactions. For example, suppose that you wish to convert methane, the main constituent of natural gas, to methanol, a common industrial solvent and raw material for making formaldehyde and methyl esters. The conversion of methane to methanol may be represented by the following equation, in which [O] represents oxygen from an agent such as copper(II) oxide, potassium dichromate, or sulfuric acid.
