Product Name: Chromium chloride hexahydrate

Alias: Chromium chloride hexahydrate

Chemical formula: CrCl₃·6H₂O

CAS No: 10060-12-5

Chemical properties:

It becomes a green solution after boiling with water for a long time.?Scorching in the air becomes chromium trioxide.?It can be sublimated in a stream of chlorine, and co-heated with carbon tetrachloride at 400°C can obtain a kinetic inert purple anhydrate.?There are three variants of hexahydrate, dark green, light green, and purple.
