Potassium arsenate is the chemical compound with the formula KH2AsO4. Other salts are also called potassium arsenate, including K2HAsO4 and K3AsO4. Each of these species is derived from arsenic acid:
- H3AsO4 + KOH → KH2AsO4 + H2O
- KH2AsO4 + KOH → K2HAsO4 + H2O
- K2HAsO4 + KOH → K3AsO4 + H2O
These species are closely related to the corresponding potassium phosphates. The anions H2AsO4−, HAsO42−, and AsO43− feature tetrahedral AsO4 with two, one, or no H atoms attached to the oxygen atom(s), respectively.
Although this and related arsenic salts have been prescribed for health purposes, such compounds are highly toxic.
