Chromic Acid for Cleaning Agent

Oxidation Reaction of Chromic Acid


For laboratoriest sometimes use chromic acid to clean their glassware after use to prepare chemical reaction or other purpose. The basic on how this acid can clean glass ware is their oxidizing agent to the dirt which stick to the glass. The process of this chromic acid reaction as follows:

HCrO4-    + 3 Fe++ + 7 H+ --->  Cr+++ + 4 H2O
2 HCrO4-  + 6 I- + 14 H+ --->   2 Cr+++ + 3I2 + 8H2O

Chromic acid will oxidized aldehydes to acids and to oxidize secondary alcohol and ketones. Chromic acid also in acetic acid solution can oxidize benzoic acid, ethylbenzene to acetophenone, triphenylmethane to triphenylcarbinol, fluorene to flourene, and chrysese to chrysoquinone. Chromic acid can dissolve in acetic andydride and sulfuric acid, oxidizes o-xylene to be tetra acetated of o-phtalaldehyde.

Chromic acid powder use for analytical purpose
Chromic Acid

Prepare Chromic Acid as Cleaning Agent


The form of chromic acid can be powder and chromic acid is very diluted in water, to make chromic acid for cleaning agent as follows:
  • Chromic acid powder 400 gram
  • Distilled water 4000 ml or 4 liter
  • Sulfuric acid 400 ml
Dissolve chromic acid in water, mixed and stir until all chromic acid dilute in water. Pour the sulfuric acid solution into glass contain of chromic acid slowly. Continuous stir this mixture until all mixture have similar composition with similar color dark brown.

Safety Precaution:

  1. For your heath and safety, please use masker to prepare this solution because chromic acid is toxic if inhale. This fume can irritate our respiratory and reproductive system.
  2. Use google and rubber glove because chromic acid and sulfuric acid can irritate skin and eyes
The source of chromic acid is formed from chromium substance react with water become chromic acid.

Basic Chemistry

Chemistry is the physical science that deals with composition, structure and properties of substance and also the transformation that these substance that undergoes. Because the study of chemistry encompasses the entire material universe, it is central to the understanding of other science. Basic chemistry involve in all aspect on live, the incident in around you actually is the basic chemistry process such as the changes of compost from fresh there is any chemical reaction involved there even the process itself is help by microorganism. A basic chemistry theory has been formulated as the result of centuries of observation and measurement of the various elements and compounds. According to this theory, matter is composed of minute particles called atoms. The more than 100 different kinds of atoms that are known are called chemical elements. Atoms of the same elements or of different elements can combine together to form molecules and compounds. The atom are held together by forces,...

Gas Reaction and Solid Reaction

Gas Liquid Reactions When gaseous reactants are absorbed by a liquid, and a chemical reaction takes place , both chemical reaction and mass transfer may control the overall reaction rate. For analysis of this type of system should be consulted. Books by Astarita, Danckwerts, and Sherwood, Pigford, and Wilke should also be helpful. Treatments similar to these references are likewise applicable to the liquid liquid system if chemical reaction is involved in only one of two partially miscible phases and the overall rate is governed by both mass transfer and chemical reaction. Solid State Reactions The solid state reactions refer to decomposition and interaction of solids, and are generally more complex than those of other systems discussed preciously. There have been few systematic analyses of chemical reactions in the solid state. Fairly comprehensive treatments of such reactions are presented in two recent publications by Bamford and Tipper and Schmalzried respectively. Genera...

Viscose Fiber Production Process

Viscose fiber is a base material for textile industry. The first production of this kind product is in Indian than spread over the Europe and United States also in South Asia Country like in Indonesia. Viscose fiber is produced to anticipate the shortage of natural yarn for raw material to produce yarn in textile industries, beside synthetic yarn as replace natural cotton to produce fabric. This one is a simple drawing of viscose fiber production process . Viscose fiber is used to substitute the using of cotton as raw material for textile industry. Beside of cotton availability will not enough to supply market demand in the future, also cotton just available on harvesting season. If people just depend on cotton to produce textile then people will shortage of raw material to produce textile. Using viscose fiber to fulfill of textile industry will not any shortage raw material, beside the price is lower than cotton, viscose fiber also have better quality compare with synthetic fiber fo...
