Calcium chromate (CaCrO4) is a bright yellow solid. It normally occurs as the dihydrate.
Properties[edit]
Calcium chromate loses water at 200 °C. It reacts with organic matter or reducing agents to form chromium(III). The solid will react explosively with hydrazine. If mixed with boron and ignited, calcium chromate will burn violently.[1]
Uses[edit]
It is used as a pigment, a corrosion inhibitor, and in electroplating, photochemical processing, and industrial waste treatment.
