Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Dichromate (Volcano Reaction)

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + N2 + 4H2O

개요

Ammonium dichromate decomposes spectacularly when ignited, producing green chromium(III) oxide, nitrogen gas, and water vapor. The green fluffy chromium oxide rises like a miniature volcano as gases escape, making this one of the most dramatic chemistry demonstrations.
