Chromium(VI) oxide (Cat No.: R044342), also known as chromic acid or CrO₃, is a dark red crystalline compound and a powerful oxidizing agent. It is widely used in electroplating, metal surface treatment, and organic synthesis, particularly for oxidizing alcohols to ketones or carboxylic acids. Highly toxic and carcinogenic, CrO₃ requires careful handling and strict safety measures. Its strong oxidative properties and ability to form chromate esters make it valuable in industrial and laboratory applications. For professional use under regulated and controlled conditions only.
