General Description
Dark green to violet crystalline material. Used in paints and inks, ceramics, and in textile dyeing. It is noncombustible. The primary hazard of this material is the potential for environmental damage if released. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment.
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Decomposes to chromic acid when heated. (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
INHALATION: Corrosive action on mucous membranes. SKIN: May elicit an allergic reaction. Corrosive action on skin. Lesions confined to exposed parts. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Acidic organic/inorganic salts, such as CHROMIC SULFATE, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate to high concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.
