Potassium arsenite (KAsO 2) is an inorganic compound that exists in two forms, potassium meta-arsenite (KAsO 2) and potassium ortho-arsenite (K 3 AsO 3). It is composed of arsenite ions (AsO 3 3− or AsO 2 − ) with arsenic always existing in the +3 oxidation state. [ 3 ]
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Arsenate readily reacts with metals to form arsenate metal compounds. [2] [3] Arsenate is a moderate oxidizer and an electron acceptor, with an electrode potential of +0.56 V for its reduction to arsenite. [4] Due to arsenic having the same valency and similar atomic radius to phosphorus, arsenate shares similar geometry and reactivity with ...
The enzymes involved are known as arsenate reductases. In 2008, bacteria were discovered that employ a version of photosynthesis with arsenites as electron donors, producing arsenates (just like ordinary photosynthesis uses water as electron donor, producing molecular oxygen). The researchers conjectured that historically these ...
Potassium arsenate usually refers to tripotassium arsenate K 3 AsO 4 but may also refer to: Monopotassium arsenate, KH 2 AsO 4; Dipotassium arsenate, K 2 HAsO 4; See ...
The solubility of a specific solute in a specific solvent is generally expressed as the concentration of a saturated solution of the two. [1] Any of the several ways of expressing concentration of solutions can be used, such as the mass, volume, or amount in moles of the solute for a specific mass, volume, or mole amount of the solvent or of the solution.
Monopotassium arsenate is the inorganic compound with the formula KH 2 AsO 4. A white solid, this salt is used to prepared other arsenic-containing compounds, mainly pesticides. It is prepared by calcining arsenic oxide and potassium nitrate, followed by extraction with water. [1]
