FERROUS ARSENATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Green or brown powder.decomposes on heating. Insoluble in water; soluble in dilute mineral acids. Nonflammable.

Uses

Insecticide.

General Description

FERROUS ARSENATE is a green or brown powder. FERROUS ARSENATE is insoluble in water. FERROUS ARSENATE is toxic by ingestion and inhalation and is a strong irritant. FERROUS ARSENATE is used in the manufacture of insecticides.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

FERROUS ARSENATE has weak oxidizing or reducing powers. Redox reactions can however still occur. The majority of compounds in this class are slightly soluble or insoluble in water. If soluble in water, then the solutions are usually neither strongly acidic nor strongly basic. These compounds are not water-reactive.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation, strong irritant.

Health Hazard

Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.
