Potassium Dichromate is an odorless, Orange to Red, crystalline (sand-like) solid or powder. It is used as an analytical reagent and in Tanning, Painting, Printing, Electroplating and Pyrotechnics.
Dosage
Potassium dichromate is a weaker oxidizing agent than KMnO4 or Ce(IV). However, it is a primary standard and its solutions have long lasting stability in acid and are stable to light, to most organic matter, and to chloride ion. ... If needed, a K2Cr2O7 solution can be standardized against pure iron.
Useful Area
Potassium Dichromate is commonly used in acid solution to standardize Ferrous salt solutions using Ferroin indicator:
Potassium Dichromate is also used to standardize Sodium Thiosulfate solutions. In acidic solution, Potassium Dichromate oxidizes Potassium Iodide to Iodine; the Iodine thus generated can then be titrated with the Thiosulfate solution using Starch Indicator:
Hexavalent Chromium compounds (the form present in the Dichromate ion) are carcinogenic, and this fact should be considered when evaluating Potassium Dichromate against other oxidizers such as Ceric Sulfate, Potassium Iodate and Potassium Permanganate.
