Reaction Steps

222 g of chromium III chloride were dissolved in 3 liters of distilled water. 160 g of citric acid were added. This produces a concentration of 14.4 million ppb of chromium citrate. After 10 minutes of stirring at room temperature, the green color changed to purple, signifying that chromium citrate has been formed. Then, 3 ml of the resulting chromium citrate were added to 1 gallon of distilled water. The following amounts of the above solution were prepared:
