Sodium dihydrogen arsenate Sodium dihydrogen arsenate Sodium dihydrogen arsenate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaHAsO. Related salts are also called sodium arsenate, including NaHAsO (disodium hydrogen arsenate) and NaHAsO (sodium dihydrogen arsenate). Sodium dihydrogen arsenate is a colorless solid that is highly toxic. The salt is the conjugate base of arsenic acid: In the laboratory, it is prepared in this way, crystallizing from a hot saturated aqueous solution, where it is highly soluble when hot (75.3 g in 100 mL at 100 °C). It is obtained as the monohydrate. Upon heating, solid NaHAsOHO, loses water of crystallization and converts to the
Calcium oxide Calcium oxide Calcium oxide (CaO), commonly known as quicklime or burnt lime, is a widely used chemical compound. It is a white, caustic, alkaline, crystalline solid at room temperature. The broadly used term "lime" connotes calcium-containing inorganic materials, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of calcium, silicon, magnesium, aluminium, and iron predominate. By contrast, "quicklime" specifically applies to the single chemical compound calcium oxide. Calcium oxide that survives processing without reacting in building products such as cement is called free lime. Quicklime is relatively inexpensive. Both it and a chemical derivative (calcium hydroxide, of which quicklime is the base anhydride)
