Alcohol (chemistry)

In chemistry, an alcohol is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl functional group bound to carbon.

See Chrome alum and Alcohol (chemistry)

Astringent

An astringent (sometimes called adstringent) is a chemical that shrinks or constricts body tissues.

See Chrome alum and Astringent

Chromate and dichromate

Chromate salts contain the chromate anion,.

Chromium

Chromium is a chemical element; it has symbol Cr and atomic number 24.

See Chrome alum and Chromium

Chromium(III) sulfate

Chromium(III) sulfate usually refers to the inorganic compounds with the formula Cr2(SO4)3.x(H2O), where x can range from 0 to 18. Additionally, ill-defined but commercially important "basic chromium sulfates" are known. These salts are usually either violet or green solids that are soluble in water. Chrome alum and Chromium(III) sulfate are Chromium(III) compounds and sulfates.
