INTRODUCTION
Chromium hydroxide, a gelatinous, polymeric inorganic powder, is amphoteric in nature. It reacts as an acid as well as a base. On heating, it decomposes to chromic oxide. The molecule is largely used in cosmetics and tanning industries.
Manufacture
Chromium hydroxide is produced by reaction of chromic chloride with aqueous ammonia.
