Arsenic pentoxide is the inorganic compound with the formula As2O5. This glassy, white solid is relatively unstable, consistent with the rarity of the As(V) oxidation state. More common, and far more important commercially, is arsenic(III) oxide (As2O3).

Synthesis and reactions

Arsenic pentoxide can be crystallized by heating As2O3 under oxygen. In fact, arsenic pentoxide decomposes to oxygen and As2O3 upon heating.[1]

As2O5, which like phosphorus pentoxide is hygroscopic, dissolves readily in water to form arsenic acid, H3AsO4.[2]
