Green chromium oxide, iron chromite, potassium dichromate and stains are  compounds used by potters.
In the electrolytic chromium plating industry, mainly of the « hard type », the cancer (mainly lung cancer) risk is quite lower than in the chromate industry; this is explained by the fact that soluble hexavalent chromium is used in the former while rather insoluble compounds are used in the latter.
Zinc chromate is the most potent carcinogen among chromates commonly found in industrial settings; calcium chromate and lead chromate pose a lesser risk.

 Protective Effects of Thiol Compounds on Chromate-induced Toxicity In Vitro and In Vivo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The effects of thiol compounds (l-cysteine ethyl ester, 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid, or 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid) on the toxicity induced by chromate (potassium dichromate) were investigated in HeLa cells and mice.
In mice injected ip with a thiol compound immediately after injection of chromate, mortality, ornithine carbamyl transferase activity in the serum, and chromium content in the liver were diminished remarkably compared with mice injected with chromate alone.
When the cells were incubated in the medium with 5.0 µM chromate alone, or with both chromate and one of the thiol compounds (25-100 µM) for 3 days, the cell-growth inhibition induced by chromate was diminished with increased concentration of the thiol compounds (Figure 1).

Using the balanced equation, calculate how much barium chromate you would expect to produce if you mixed 1.534 grams of solid barium chloride with an excess amount of 0.25 molar (0.25 M) potassium chromate solution.
The potassium chromate is excess, so the molarity is not important here, but it's in the problem anyway, so you have to be able to figure out that you don't need it.
This is a straight stoichiometry problem, where you'll use molar mass to convert grams to moles of barium chloride, then use the coefficients to convert moles of barium chloride to moles of barium chromate, then use the molar mass of barium chromate to get the grams.

If the filtrate is not a clear yellow solution (this is different from a cloudy yellow which indicates that particles of lead (II) chromate are in the filtrate) add 10 mL more of 0.01 M potassium chromate solution to the filtrate.

A clear colorless filtrate is desired at this point to insure that all excess potassium chromate has been rinsed off the filter paper.
