種類
三酸化ヒ素は、主に研究開発用試薬製品として販売されています。容量の種類には、10g、25g、50g、100g、250g、1kgなどの種類があり、実験室で取り扱いやすい容量での提供です。室温で保管可能な試薬製品として扱われます。
毒物及び劇物取締法における毒物であるため、購入・保管には所定の手続きが必要です。
性質
三酸化ヒ素は、分子量197.841、融点312.2℃、沸点465℃であり、常温常圧において無色無臭の固体です。昇華性があるため、強く加熱すると酸化ヒ素 (III) のガスを発生します。このガスは強い溶血作用を持つ性質があります。
密度は3.74g/mL、水への溶解度は20g/L (25°C)です。アルコール、クロロホルム、エーテルに溶けず、グリセリンに溶解します。水に溶かすと水和して亜ヒ酸 (As(OH)3) となり、弱酸性を示します。酸解離定数pKaは、9.2です。
解説
三酸化二ヒ素As2O3を水に溶かしたときに存在すると考えられる酸。化学式H3AsO3,HAsO2などであらわされるが，遊離状態では得られていない。弱酸であるが両性を示し，塩基としても働く。酸解離定数Ka＝6×10－6(HAsO2⇄H＋＋AsO2－)，塩基解離定数Kb＝10－14(AsO(OH)⇄AsO＋＋OH－)。中性および微酸性水溶液は安定であるが，アルカリ性水溶液では空気により酸化されてヒ酸となりやすい。

化学的特性
WHITE POWDER AND FINE CHUNKS
使用
It is a reductometric standard.
定義
A colorless crystalline solid that is very poisonous (0.1 g would be a lethal dose). Analysis of the solid and vapor states suggests a dimerized structure of As
4O
6. An amphoteric oxide, arsenic(III) oxide is sparingly soluble in water, producing an acidic solution. It is formed when arsenic is burned in air or oxygen.
製造方法
Arsenic trioxide is obtained by roasting the mineral arsenopyrite, FeAsS, in air at 650 to 700°C. It is also obtained as a by-product during the smelting ofcopper and lead concentrates during the extraction of these metals from their ores that contain arsenic. The latter readily oxidizes to arsenic trioxide which is volatilized. The vapors are then condensed and collected. High purity-grade oxide can be obtained by resublimation of the crude trioxide or by pressure leaching and recrystallization. Arsenic trioxide may also be prepared by hydrolysis of arsenic trichloride, -tribromide or -trifluoride.
反応性
In the processing of As2O3 the oxide is normally reduced withcarbon:
2As2O3+3C?→As4+3CO2
The reaction is endothermic and is carried out at 500–800℃.The elemental arsenic sublimes and is condensed out of the reaction gas by cooling.
一般的な説明
White or transparent, glassy amorphous lumps or crystalline powder. Slightly soluble in water, but dissolves very slowly; more soluble in hot water. Noncombustible. Corrosive to metals in the presence of moisture. Toxic by ingestion.
空気と水の反応
Slightly soluble in water, but dissolves very slowly; more soluble in hot water [Merck].
反応プロフィール
Arsenic(III) oxide reacts vigorously with fluorine at ordinary temperatures [Mellor 9:34 1946-47]. Dissolves in aqueous acids. Incompatible with tannic acid, infusions of cinchona and other vegetable astringent infusions and decoctions, and with iron in solution [Merck].
危険性
A confirmed carcinogen.
健康ハザード
Material is considered super toxic; probable oral lethal dose (human) is less than 5 mg/kg, i.e., a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 70kg (150 lb.) person. Material causes acute gastrointestinal and central nervous system symptoms. Renal and hepatic damage have also been observed. Chronic exposure to material has led to nasal septum perforation, dermatological symptoms (lesions, necrosis, etc.) and an increase in the incidence of lung and lymphatic cancers. Appreciable exposure to respiratory irritant promoters such as metal oxide fumes elicits a carcinogenic response from Arsenic(III) oxide .
火災危険
Toxic fumes of Arsenic(III) oxide and arsine may be formed in fire situations. Contact with halide acids will form toxic volatile halides. Reduction in acid solutions will form arsine. Arsenic(III) oxide and excess zinc filings will explode on heating. Avoid sodium chlorate; fluorine; chlorine trifluoride; chromic oxide; aluminum chloride; phosphorus pentoxide; hydrogen fluoride; oxygen difluoride, tannic acid; infusion cinchona and other vegetable astringent infusions and decoctions; iron in solution. Arsenic(III) oxide is stable in air but slowly oxidizes in acid media.

使用用途
三酸化ヒ素は非常に強い毒性を持つため、殺鼠剤、殺虫剤や、農薬として使用されてきた歴史があります。虫歯や白血病治療薬にも用いられてきましたが、副作用として慢性ヒ素中毒やガンにかかることが多く、近年では使用が減少しつつあります。

職業ばく露
Arsenic trioxide, a primary raw material
for other arsenic compounds, is used in manufacture of
pesticides, glass, industrial chemicals, and drugs. It is an
intermediate for insecticides, herbicides and fungicides.
The material is used as a wood and tanning preservative
and a decoloring and refining agent in glass manufacture. It
is also used in pharmaceuticals and in the purification of
synthetic gas.

純化方法
It crystallises in an octahedral form (common form) from H2O or from dilute HCl (1:2), and is then washed, dried and sublimed (193o/760mm). Analytical reagent grade material is suitable for use as an analytical standard after it has been dried at 105o for 1-2hours or has been left in a desiccator for several hours over conc H2SO4. Alternatively: As2O3 (15g) is dissolved by heating in a mixture of H2O (60mL) and HCl (90g, s.g. 1.1), and crystallisation occurs on cooling, accompanied by brilliant flashes of light [Bandrowski Z Phys Chem 17 234 1895]. The amorphous form is a colourless transparent glass (m 200o) which is obtained when the vapour is slowly condensed below the vaporization temperature, and should be kept in a sealed tube because it changes to the octahedral form (m 275o) in the presence of moisture. [Rushton & Daniels J Am Chem Soc 48 384 1926.] A third monoclinic form, is obtained by heating the oxide in a sealed tube at 400o (the vitreous, amorphous form remains at the bottom of the tube) with the monoclinic form subliming onto the intermediate part of the tube at 200o (m 312o), and the octahedral form deposits at the top of the tube. The transition temperature between the last two forms is ~250o. POISONOUS (particularly the vapour, handle in a ventilated fume cupboard). [Schenk in Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry (Ed. Brauer) Academic Press Vol I p 600 1963.]
