Silver Chromate Precipitation

2AgNO₃ + K₂CrO₄ → Ag₂CrO₄↓ + 2KNO₃

Обзор

Silver nitrate reacts with potassium chromate to form a brick-red precipitate of silver chromate (Ksp = 1.1 × 10⁻¹²). This reaction is the basis of the Mohr method for determining chloride concentration by titration with AgNO₃ using K₂CrO₄ indicator.
