Chromium Oxide (VI)
Chromium Oxide (VI) (Product Code: SCI-671/294) is analytical reagent grade chromium(VI) oxide, also called chromium trioxide, a strong oxidising agent used for oxidation reactions and alcohol tests in college and university chemistry labs. It is listed in a 100 g pack and comes with an MSDS, which should be read before use because chromium(VI) compounds are toxic. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the glassware and safety items that such work needs.

What Is Chromium Trioxide Used For?
In organic chemistry, chromium(VI) oxide in aqueous sulfuric acid forms the Jones reagent, which oxidises primary alcohols towards carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. As it reacts, the orange-red chromium(VI) is reduced to green chromium(III), so the colour change also serves as a test that separates primary and secondary alcohols from tertiary ones, which do not react under these conditions.
In inorganic lessons it illustrates the highest oxidation state of chromium and the colour change between the +6 and +3 states. It is a powerful oxidiser that can ignite paper, alcohols or solvents on contact, and chromium(VI) compounds are classed as carcinogens. Use it only under trained supervision in a fume cupboard, with goggles and chemical-resistant gloves, and collect chromium waste separately for disposal as the MSDS directs.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 100 g packs your department needs.
- Companion items such as dilute sulfuric acid, chemical-resistant gloves or a fume cupboard.
- The delivery destination, since oxidising and toxic chemicals are subject to transport restrictions.
- Any vendor-registration or tender documents your institution requires.
Supplier
Chromium Oxide (VI) is sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, for college, university and testing laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chromium Oxide (VI) used for?
Chromium Oxide (VI) is used as a strong oxidising agent, mainly to oxidise primary and secondary alcohols and to distinguish them from tertiary alcohols by the orange-to-green colour change, and to illustrate the +6 oxidation state of chromium.
What is Chromium Oxide (VI) chemically?
Chromium Oxide (VI) is chromium trioxide, CrO3, a dark red solid in which chromium is in the +6 oxidation state. It dissolves in water to give a strongly acidic, strongly oxidising solution.
What grade and pack size is Chromium Oxide (VI)?
Chromium Oxide (VI), product code SCI-671/294, is analytical reagent grade and is listed in a 100 g pack. It is supplied with an MSDS giving hazard, first-aid, storage and disposal information.
Is Chromium Oxide (VI) suitable for school students?
Chromium Oxide (VI) is toxic, corrosive and a strong oxidiser, so it is best reserved for college, university and teacher-led work in a fume cupboard. Check your institution’s safety rules and the MSDS before including it in any practical.
How should Chromium Oxide (VI) be stored?
Store Chromium Oxide (VI) tightly closed in a locked, dry cupboard away from organic materials and reducing agents. Its shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Chromium Oxide (VI)?
Chromium Oxide (VI) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to colleges, universities, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, as a sourced reagent dispatched with its MSDS.
What does a quotation for Chromium Oxide (VI) need?
A quotation for Chromium Oxide (VI) needs the product code SCI-671/294, the number of 100 g packs, the delivery destination and any protective equipment to include. Send the details through the contact page.
