CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description Arsenic appears as a grayish metallic solid that turns black upon exposure to air. Insoluble in water. Toxic by ingestion.
Color/Form IT EXISTS IN THREE ALLOTROPIC FORMS, THE YELLOW (ALPHA), BLACK (BETA) AND GREY (GAMMA) FORMS
Odor ... Odorless ...
Taste NEARLY TASTELESS
Boiling Point 1135 °F at 760 mmHg (sublimes) (USCG, 1999)
Melting Point 1135 °F (Sublimes) (NIOSH, 2023)
Solubility Insoluble (NIOSH, 2023)
Density 5.727 at 77 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink
Vapor Pressure 0 mmHg (approx) (NIOSH, 2023)
Stability/Shelf Life LOSES ITS LUSTER ON EXPOSURE TO AIR, FORMING A BLACK MODIFICATION + AS2O3
Autoignition Temperature 180 °C
Decomposition When arsenic is heated in air it will burn and form a white smoke consisting of arsenic trioxide (As2O3).
Heat of Vaporization 11.2 kcal/g-atom
Other Experimental Properties A yellow modification which has no metallic properties is obtained by sudden cooling of arsenic-vapor. This yellow arsenic is converted back to the gray modification upon very short exposure to ultraviolet light.
Chemical Classes Metals -> Arsenic Compounds, Inorganic

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

description

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element widely distributed in the earth's crust. In the environment, arsenic is combined with oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur to form inorganic arsenic compounds. Arsenic in animals and plants combines with carbon and hydrogen to form organic arsenic compounds. Inorganic arsenic compounds are mainly used to preserve wood. Copper chromated arsenic (CCA) is used to make "pressure-treated" lumber. CCA is no longer used in the U.S. for residential uses; it is still used in industrial applications. Organic arsenic compounds are used as pesticides, primarily on cotton plants.
