- Decomposition of Ga2Cr2O7
2.1 Definition:
Ga2Cr2O7, also known as Gallium Bichromate, is a chemical compound consisting of two atoms of gallium (Ga), two atoms of chromium (Cr), and seven atoms of oxygen (O). The molar mass of Ga2Cr2O7 is 431.59 g/mol.
1.3.1 Molecular structure:
Each gallium atom combines with a chromium atom to form two GaCrO4 ions. Each of these ions then combines with seven oxygen atoms to form a Ga2Cr2O7 molecule.
1.4 Ion structure:
In Ga2Cr2O7, the Ga(III) and Cr(VI) ions combine with oxygen atoms to form GaCrO4 ions.
