The demand for metallic arsenic is limited and thus arsenic is usually marketed in the form of the trioxide, referred to as white arsenic, arsenious oxide, arsenious acid anhydride, and also by the generally accepted misnomer arsenic. 

Arsenic trioxide [1327-53-3] (arsenic(III) oxide, arsenic sesquioxide, arsenous oxide, white arsenic, arsenic), AS2O2, is the most important arsenic compound of commerce. The octahedral or cubic modification, arsenoHte [1303-24-8], 298 1313.9 kJ/mol (—314 kcal/mol) 214 J/(mol-K)...

On his way home from the Netherlands he studied mining and metallurgy in the Harz, and in 1727 he was placed in charged of the chemical laboratory at the Bureau of Mines in Stockholm, which was then in poor financial condition. After the laboratory was sold, Brandt and his students Henrik Teofil Scheffer and Axel Fredrik Cronstedt carried on their epoch-making researches at the Royal Mint, and in 1730 Brandt became assay master of the Mint. Three years later he published a systematic investigation of arsenic and its compounds in which he showed that arsenic is a semi-metal and that white arsenic [arsenious oxide] is its calx (35). 

There are other less familiar chemical behaviors that the phlogistic view readily described. Near the middle of the century Macquer discovered that if white arsenic (AS2O3) was treated with nitric acid a new acid was formed which contained arsenic as its basis. Later phlogistonists explained this by extending the traditional relationship between a metal and its calx, In this case, the metallic arsenic by losing some of its phlogiston would form the...

Mercury nitrate, corrosive sublimate, white arsenic, and lead acetate are occasionally used as reagents, and soap is described as an indication of hard waters, as when added to them a decomposition takes place, the acid unites with alkali, and the oil is disengaged such waters as these are generally called hard waters, and are unfit for washing cloaths, as also for boiling pulse and the harder kinds of flesh. 18 The list of qualitative reagents for the many constituents of natural waters comprises the principal reagents in use at present. 

Arsenic Trichloride, AsC13, was discovered in 1648 by Glauber,4 who obtained it by heating in a retort a mixture of white arsenic, common salt and sulphuric acid a thick oil, which he designated butter of arsenic, collected in the receiver.5 The compound is produced in many reactions and is usually formed when arsenic and its compounds are... 

In 1914 the annual world production of white arsenic was about 10,000 tons. Germany was the foremost producer, but the production of the United States and Canada was of increasing importance England, which in the prosperous days of Cornish tin mining had produced even more than Germany, was still an important producer. In recent years the annual production has expanded until, since 1983, it has reached more than...
