Ammonium acid formate arsenate

The molecular characterization of methylarsonic acid, phenylarsonic acid and the inorganic anion, arsenate, found in a methanol extract of a Green River Formation Oil shale sample was accomplished by HPLC-GFAA analysis In addition, derivatization of the acids, HPLC purified, by reaction with 3-methylcatechol to form the five coordinate organoarsenic catecholates as well as reaction, via trimethylsilylation, of the ammonium salt of arsenate to form tristrimethylsilylarsenate was followed by GC-EIMS analysis to provide unequivocal evidence for the presence of these organometallic and inorganic compounds of arsenic as natural products in oil shale ... 

Arsine is formed when any inorganic arsenic-bearing material is brought in contact with zinc and sulfuric acid. The arsenides of the electropositive metals are decomposed with the formation of arsine by water or acid. Calcium arsenide [12255-53-7] Ca2As2, treated with water gives a 14% yield of arsine. Better yields (60—90%) are obtained by decomposing a solution of sodium arsenide [12044-25-6] Na As, in Hquid ammonia with ammonium bromide (14,15). Arsine may be accidentally formed by the reaction of arsenic impurities in commercial acids stored in metal tanks, so that a test should be made for... 

In 1869 Bettendorff recorded 1 the formation of a voluminous brown precipitate when stannous chloride was added to a solution of arsenious oxide, or of magnesium ammonium arsenate, in hydrochloric acid. The precipitate proved to be arsenic (96 to 99 per cent.) with traces of tin which were irremovable. The speed of precipitation depends upon the amount of arsenic present and the temperature. With solutions containing little arsenic, Bettendorff observed, on warming, a yellow colour before the precipitate appeared, but he was unable to prove that the colour was due to arsenic. The reaction involved may be represented thus—... 

If a drop of 0-02N aqueous sodium sulphide is added to a drop of a solution containing arsenate or phosphate on a filter paper and a drop of aqueous ammonium molybdate acidified with sulphuric acid also added, a blue colour develops 2 ferro- and ferri-cyanides and thiocyanate should be absent. The formation of molybdenum blue is used in the colorimetric estimation of arsenic (see p. 321). 

Arsenates and silicates with ammonium molybdate yield the ammonium salts of arsenomolybdic, H3[AsMo12O40] or H3[As(Mo3O10)4], and silico-molybdic, H4[SiMo12O40] or H4[Si(Mo3O10)4], acids respectively these complex acids and their salts react similarly with benzidine. However, phosphates may be detected in the presence of arsenates and silicates by preventing the formation of the corresponding molybdo-acids by the use of a tartaric acid-ammonium molybdate reagent which does not react with arsenic and silicic acids but does react with phosphoric acid when the reaction is carried out on filter paper. 

Test for Phosphorus.—One cubic centimeter of the original solution from the fusion is boiled for 1 minute with 3 cc. of concentrated nitric acid. This treatment oxidizes the sodium phosphide to sodium phosphate. The presence of the latter is tested for by adding to the cooled solution twice its volume of ammonium molybdate reagent. The tube is heated to such a temperature that it can just be held in the hand, and is then set aside. The formation of a yellow precipitate indicates phosphorus, provided arsenic is not present. 

Separation. — From most of the metals, germanium may be separated by the formation of the sulfo-salts with ammonium sulfide. It may be separated from arsenic, antimony, and tin by exactly neutralizing the sulfo-salts with sulfuric acid and filtering after 12 hours. Evaporate to small bulk, add ammonia, ammonium sulfate, and sulfuric acid and saturate with H. GeS2 precipitates while the other metals remain in solution.

In addition to iodonium, sulfonium and selenonium compounds, onium salts of bromine, chlorine, arsenic, and phosphoras are also stable and can act as sources of cation radicals as well as Bronsted acids, when irradiated with light. Performance of diaryl chloronium and diaryl bromonium salts was studied by Nickers and Abu. Also, aryl ammonium and aryl phosphonium, and an alkyl aryl sulfonium salt were investigated. It appears that the general behavior of these materials is similar to diphenyl iodonium and triphenyl sulfonium salts. These are formations of singlet and triplet states followed by cleavages of the carbon-onium atom bonds and in-cage and out of cage-escape reactivity. The anions of choice appear to be boron tetrafluoride, phosphorus hexafluoride, arsenic hexafluoride, and antimony hexafluoride.
