What is Sodium Arsenate?

Sodium arsenate (Na₂HAsO₄) is an inorganic arsenic compound widely used in various industrial, agricultural, and laboratory applications. It appears as a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water, forming an alkaline solution. Sodium arsenate is typically available in different hydrated forms, such as monosodium or disodium arsenate, depending on its chemical composition and processing conditions. It is produced by neutralizing arsenic acid with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate under controlled conditions. This compound is known for its strong oxidizing properties, chemical stability, and ability to inhibit enzymatic activity, which historically led to its use in herbicides, wood preservatives, and insecticides. In modern industries, sodium arsenate is primarily used in glass manufacturing, metal treatment, and as an analytical reagent.
