The hydrolysis of chromate ion was studied potentiometrically in a concentration cell fitted with hydrogen electrodes by titrating basic NaCl-Na/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ solutions with standardized HCl against a NaOH reference solution. The temperature was varied from 25 to 175/sup 0/C at 25/sup 0/ intervals at the following ionic strengths (I): 0.1140, 0.2346, 0.5337, 0.9988, 2.940, and 5.239 (NaCl). Depending on the ionic strength, the molality of total chromium was varied from 0.001 to 0.100. The resulting titration curves could be resolved best in terms of three equilibria involving the formation of HCrO/sub 4//sup -/ (aq), Cr/sub 2/O/sub 7//sup 2 -/ (aq), and CrO/sub 3/Cl/sup -/ (aq). The equilibrium quotients for all three reactions were fitted as a function of temperature and ionic strength, and the molal thermodynamic parameters that were computed from these relationships are tabulated at specific ionic strengths over the experimental temperature range.
