FA 1 is a mixture of sodi um bromide and sodium sulphate. 6. 000 g of FA 1 was dissolved
in water to make up FA 2. The FA 2 solution was divided Into two portions of equal

Cr0. is an unstabl e dark green sol i d. On addition of
dilute sodium hydroxide, It may undergo disproportionation to produce a solution
containing chromium( l l l ) ions, Cr3' and chromate( VI ) i ons. Cro/.
