As the wick burns down into the ammonium dichromate, the compound begins to spark and decompose leaving behind a cone of green chromium (III) oxide that has a considerably larger volume than the original compound.
Working in a fume cupboard, place a conical pile of about 10g of ammonium dichromate on a heat-proof mat standing on a tray to collect the chromium oxide that shoots into the air.
The reaction may also be started by pointing a roaring Bunsen flame at the top of the pile of ammonium dichromate.

The Ammonium Dichromate decomposition becomes self sustaining at 225C, and the product combusts quietly with the evolution of some sparks and Cromium Trioxide (Cr), a greenish powder which is lifted up in part by the rising hot Nitrogen gas.
The Ammonium Dichromate self decomposition demonstration, commonly called the "Vesuvian volcano", is a classic High School chemistry example of how chemicals can undergo spectacular expansion during decomposition.
Within a short time the entire Dichromate sample has decomposed and a volume of Cr many times larger than the original sample volume is left behind.

 Science in Pictures: The Oxidation of Ammonium Dichromate
Soon the dichromate ions will oxidize the ammonium within the orange powder, and the chromium atoms will be reduced to ions of a lower oxidation state:
There is no orange dichromate left over; all that remains is Cr Although it weighs less than the starting material (because, after all, we have “lost” the mass of the escaping gases), it seems more voluminous than the starting material, creating the illusion that our mountain has grown like a true volcano.
the dichromate ion, is rich in oxygen, so the bonded metal is said to be in an unstable and high oxidation state.

 Chemical Oxygen Demand
To do so, the excess potassium dichromate is titrated with ferrous ammonium sulfate (FAS) until all of the excess oxidizing agent has been reduced to Cr Typically, the oxidation-reduction indicator Ferroin is added during this titration step as well.
Most commonly, a 0.25 N solution of potassium dichromate is used for COD determination, although for samples with COD below 50 mg/L, a lower concentration of potassium dichromate is preferred.
Potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizing agent under acidic conditions.

 Demonstrations - Ammonium Dichromate Volcano
In the following demonstrations, a pile of ammonium dichromate is ignited with a Bunsen burner, producing the "volcano" effect.
The chromium(III) oxide crystals that are produced are "fluffier" than the original ammonium dichromate crystals, and even though a lot of the mass of the starting materials escapes as vapor, the product looks like a larger amount of material.
While the ammonium dichromate decomposes, it gives off orange sparks and throws the green chromium(III) oxide crystals into the air, producing an effect that looks like a miniature volcanic eruption.

 Dichromate Decomposition
As the name and the way the formula is written both suggest, there is an "ammonium" part and a "dichromate" part.
Thus, to conserve charge, the "dichromate" ion must be an anion with a net charge of –2e: Cr Now that we have this figured out, we can deduce that chromium really is "chromium(VI)" as claimed above.
If you search the web for the phrase "dichromate volcano," you will find many references to this classic demonstration of reaction stoichiometry.

Oral In male rats oral LD50 values of 74 mg/kg for potassium dichromate, 59 mg/kg for sodium dichromate, 55 mg/kg for ammonium dichromate and 87 mg/kg for sodium chromate have been reported.
Parenteral administration of sodium or potassium dichromate or potassium chromate to rats or mice resulted in significant increases in chromosome aberrations and micronucleated cells in the bone marrow and DNA single-strand breaks, interstrand cross-links and DNA-protein cross-links in the liver, kidneys and lungs.
In another study, oral administration of potassium dichromate to female mice in their drinking water for 20 days prior to mating had adverse effects on fertility (reduced number of corpora lutea and increased pre-implantation loss) at 119 mg/kg/day and above.

However, Ceric salts, such as Ceric Ammonium Sulfate and Ceric Ammonium Nitrate, are relatively expensive and do not dissolve readily in water or dilute acid solutions due to hydrolysis and precipitation of Ceric Hydroxide.
Ceric Sulfate is a powerful and versatile oxidizing agent that possesses certain advantages over Potassium Dichromate and Potassium Permanganate.
Ceric solutions can also be heated in aqueous solution for a moderate length of time without decomposition and this feature allows them to be used in the determination of many organic compounds.
