Chromate (CrO4^2-) can easily be converted to dichromate (Cr2O7^2-) due to the change in pH of the solution. In acidic conditions, chromate ions react with hydrogen ions (H+) to form dichromate ions. This equilibrium is influenced by the concentration of hydrogen ions, which shifts the balance toward dichromate formation in lower pH environments. Thus, the conversion is a simple acid-base reaction dependent on the acidity of the solution.
