Recently, a question has camp as to the difference between yellow dichromate and yellow/gold chromate. I have seen references to both. What is the difference between the two processes(e.g. salt-spray resistance when paired with zinc electroplate, appearance, application, bath chemistry, etc.).

We are trying to restore the dichromate finish on some carburetors to like new condition. We are using a dry media in a tumbler that leaves no residue. Following the instructions to the letter from the kit that we bought, the carburetors dichromate finish comes out uneven with various shades throughout.

Some parts on a carb, such as the carb body and fuel bowls, are coated with a zinc dichromate finish. Other parts, such as the base plate, retain a natural aluminum color. Separate out the pieces to be re-colored and give them a good soaking in clean carburetor dip cleaner.

Question: What is the chemical formula for ammonium dichromate? When are parentheses used in writing chemical formulas? Lisa Malone Answer: Ammonium dichromate: (NH4)2Cr2O7 Parentheses are used when there are more than one polyatomic "functionalities" in a molecule and the formula has to be written out.
