Description
White crystalline material used as an analytical reagent for the detection of aldehydes. A solution of chromotropic acid dissolved in concentrated Sulfuric acid will turn purple in the presence of aldehydes. A test using chromotropic acid in a closed enviornment to detect the offgassing of volatile aldehydes was recommended in 1994 by Zhang, Thickett, and Greene.
