Properties: Powder. Very sol in water; slightly sol in alcohol.
 
Derivative Type: Heptahydrate
Properties: Odorless crystals; effloresces in warm air. Poisonous, but less so than the arsenite. Loses 5 H2O (29%) at about 50°; becomes anhydr at 100°. At 150° or higher it is converted into pyroarsenate. d 1.87. mp 57° when rapidly heated. Sol in 1.3 parts water; sol in glycerol, slightly in alcohol. The aq soln is alkaline to litmus.

Density: d 1.87
Toxicity data: LD75 i.p. in rats: 14-18 mg As/kg (Franke, Moxon)
 
Use: The technical grade, about 98% pure, is used in dyeing with Turkey-red oil and in printing fabrics; manuf of other arsenates.
Therap-Cat: Formerly as antimalarial; dermatologic.
Therap-Cat-Vet: Has been used in parasitism (internally and externally), also for nonparasitic skin and blood diseases, in rheumatism, asthma and heaves, and as an alterative.
