Abstract

In this work different amount of acidic (HCl) and alkaline (NaOH) solutions were added to stoke solutions of K₂CrO₄ and K₂Cr₂O₇to show the effect of pH values on their spectra. The results of UV-Visible spectroscopy shows that, the Changing of solution pH value when drops of HCl were added led to shift wavelength of K₂CrO₄spectrum while no change has been occurred in K₂Cr₂O₇spectrum. However, Changing PH values solution by adding drops of NaOH led to change in wavelength red shift for K₂Cr₂O₇ while no changes has been occurred in spectrum of K₂CrO₄.
