Synonyms: Sodium dioxoarsenate, Sodium metaarsenite Cas No. 7784-46-5 Molecular Weight: 129.91 Description: Sodium arsenite is an inorganic compound. It is a water-soluble salt composed of sodium cations (Na⁺) and arsenite anions (AsO₃³⁻). Sodium arsenite is a toxic substance, primarily due to the presence of arsenic, which can be harmful when ingested or inhaled and it is classified as a carcinogen. Uses: Industrial applications: It can be used in the manufacturing of other arsenic compounds and in certain chemical reactions. Agriculture: Sodium arsenite has historically been used as a pesticide, though its use has been greatly restricted due to the toxicity of arsenic. Laboratory: It is sometimes used in biochemical research, though with caution due to its toxic nature. Specification: Purity: 99% Color: White to yellow and faint grey to grey Form: powder
