káliumdikromátban

Káliumdikromátban is the genitive case of the chemical compound potassium dichromate in Hungarian. Potassium dichromate, with the chemical formula K2Cr2O7, is an inorganic chemical compound. It is a bright orange crystalline solid that is readily soluble in water.

Potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent. This property makes it useful in various applications, including the production of other chromium compounds, as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles, and in pyrotechnics. It has also been used historically in wood preservation and as a component in photographic processes. Due to its toxicity and carcinogenic properties, its use has been restricted in many areas, and it requires careful handling and disposal. In laboratory settings, it is sometimes used as a titrant in redox titrations. The presence of chromium in the +6 oxidation state is responsible for its strong oxidizing power and its characteristic color.
