Abstract
Potentiometric and spectrophotometric studies of the systems Cr(VI)-Fe(III)-H2O and Fe(III)-H2O systems have been performed. The formation of the complex FeCrO +4 is suggested and the corresponding thermodynamic formation constant has been calculated (logβ11 = 7.77 ± 0.02) . In order to understand the cation-anion interactions, a study of the precipitation equilibrium between Cr(VI) and Fe(III) has been carried out. The results indicate the formation of FeOHCrO4·2Fe(OH)3, a mixed precipitate whose thermodynamic solubility product is pKso=99.8±0.2.
