Sodium arsenate is the inorganic compound with the formula Na3AsO4. Related salts are also called sodium arsenate, including Na2HAsO4 ( disodium hydrogen arsenate) and NaH2AsO4 ( sodium dihydrogen arsenate). The trisodium salt is a white or colourless solid that is highly toxic. It is usually handled as the dodecahydrate Na3AsO4.12H2O. [2]

The compound can be obtained by neutralizing arsenic acid:

H3AsO4 + 3 NaOH → Na3AsO4 + 3 H2O

The salt (as its dodecahydrate) is isomorphous with trisodium phosphate. [3] The anion AsO43- exists at high pH, but below pH 11.5, it converts to HAsO42- (also written HOAsO32-).
