SODIUM CHROMATE TETRAHYDRATE AR
Sodium chromate tetrahydrate appears as odorless bright yellow deliquescent crystals. Aqueous solutions are alkaline. Eye contact may result in conjunctivitis. Skin contact may cause redness, scarring and sensitization. Absorption into the skin may cause systemic poisoning and ingestion symptoms.
SODIUM CHROMATE TETRAHYDRATE is a strong oxidizing agent. Incompatible with strong acids (NTP, 1992). Contact with combustible materials may lead to a fire. Toxic chromium oxide fumes may form in fire
Sodium chromate is an experimental carcinogen. It is highly toxic if ingested or inhaled. Corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Can cause ulceration of skin, hands and nasal septum.
Sodium chromate tetrahydrate can be used as an oxidant in organic synthesis and also as a carrier electrolyte in the capillary electrophoresis.
