Calcium chromate (CaCrO₄) is a bright yellow solid. It normally occurs as the dihydrate.

Properties

Calcium chromate loses water at 200 °C. It reacts with organic matter or reducing agents to form chromium(III). The solid will react explosively with hydrazine. If mixed with boron and ignited, calcium chromate will burn violently.^[1]

Uses

It is used as a pigment, a corrosion inhibitor, and in electroplating, photochemical processing, and industrial waste treatment.
