SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Chromium salts are widely used in industrial processes, such
as metal finishing and plating industries as well as in the
leather industry as a tanning agent, and in the manufacture of paints, dyes, explosives and ceramics. Chromium
may enter a water supply through the discharge of waste
from these industries and may also be discharged from
chromate-treated cooling waters, where they are frequently
added for corrosion control. The hexavalent state of chromium is toxic to humans, animals and aquatic life: it can
produce lung tumors when inhaled and readily induces skin
sensitization.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
Chromium(VI) reacts with diphenylcarbohydrazide to form a
purple product in an acidic buffered condition. The amount
of color developed is proportional to the concentration of
chromium present in the aqueous sample.
READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
• Fill one color comparator cube with 5 mL of the sample
(to the mark).
• Add 1 packet of HI 3846-0, replace the cap and shake
well.
• Wait 6 minutes to allow color to develop.
• Determine which color matches the solution in the vessel
and record the results in mg/L (or ppm) of chromium
(VI).
Note: To measure Chromium in the 0-1000 ppm range,
use the HI 3845 Chromium Medium Range and
High Range Test Kit.
