CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Lithium chromate appears as a yellow crystalline solid. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor and in the manufacture of other chemicals. |
|---|---|
| Color/Form | Yellow crystalline powder |
| Odor | Odorless |
| Solubility | Solubility: 48.6 wt% at 20 °C /Lithium chromate dihydrate/ |
| Density | 2.15 - 2.426 g/cu cm |
| Autoignition Temperature | Not flammable (USCG, 1999) |
| pH | ... hexavalent chromium compounds are acidic |
| Other Experimental Properties | Lithium chromate is an oxidizing agent. Can oxidize combustibles. Combining the chromate with zirconium can be explosive given the right proportions of reactants. |
| Chemical Classes | Metals -> Chromium Compounds, Inorganic |
