When potassium chromate, k2cro4, dissolves in water, what ions are produced?

Potassium chromate is a yellowish inorganic compound, with a chemical formula . It emits the toxic fumes of chromium when heated.

The compound when dissolved in the water, will produce potassium and chromate ions.

The equation can be explained as:

The 1 molecule of potassium chromate dissolving in the water will produce potassium and chromate ions. The compound is polar, such that it can dissolve in water and produce ions.

Potassium chromate is used for metal pickling, the pigment in enamel, dyes, and is also a reagent in analytical chemistry.

Thus, the potassium chromate will produce potassium and chromate ions.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
