Since chromium(II) acetate hydrate is readily to be oxidized by oxygen, its preparation requires an anoxic atmosphere and is often difficult to operate. Besides, chromium pollution is a serious environmental problem due to its great toxicity. In the paper, the experimental installation and reagent dosage for the preparation of chromium acetate(II) as an undergraduate inorganic chemistry experiment were improved based on the principle of green chemistry. Thereby, the amount of the reactants was saved, the reaction time was shortened, the yield of product was increa...
