CaCrO4, also known as Calcium Chromate, is a colorless or white solid, odorless, insoluble in water, and barely soluble in organic solvents. CaCrO4 has a molar mass of 156.072 g/mol. The molecular structure of Calcium Chromate includes one Ca2+ ion and one CrO42- ion, with a molecular weight of 156.07 g/mol.
CaCrO4 has fairly stable chemical properties and is not easily decomposed. It cannot form complexes or participate in oxidation-reduction reactions like many other chromium compounds. However, it can form other salts when it reacts with acids or bases.
Note that CaCrO4 does not react directly with metals, acids, non-metals, or salts. It can only form other salts through reactions with different substances such as HCl or NaOH.
In the laboratory, CaCrO4 can be synthesized by reacting CaCl2 with K2CrO4. The industrial production of Calcium Chromate usually involves the use of chromium-containing compounds, such as chromite or chromium oxide, and reaction with calcium in an acidic or basic environment.
