An ore of arsenic is primarily arsenopyrite, which is a mineral composed of iron, arsenic, and sulfur (FeAsS). It is the most significant source of arsenic and is typically found in hydrothermal deposits. Other arsenic-containing minerals include realgar (As4S4) and orpiment (As2S3), but arsenopyrite is the most economically important. Arsenic is extracted from these ores for various industrial applications, including semiconductor manufacturing and as a preservative.
What else can I help you with?
What is an arsenopyrite?
An arsenopyrite is a silvery-grey ore of arsenic - a mixed arsenide and sulphide of iron, chemical formula FeAsS.
How is arsenic produced and what is the procedure?
Arsenic is primarily produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, and lead refining processes. The most common method for producing arsenic involves heating arsenopyrite ore in the presence of oxygen, which releases arsenic as a gas. The gas is then cooled and collected as a solid for further processing.
Is arsenic diatomic?
No, arsenic is not diatomic. Arsenic is a metalloid element with the chemical symbol As.
What is the chemical symbol for arsenic?
The symbol for arsenic is AS.
What element in rat poison has 33 electrons?
Element thirty three is Arsenic and can be fatal to humans.
How does arsenic get in water?
Usually from naturally occurring deposits of arsenic ore in the aquifer.
What is the name of a yellow mineral whic is an ore of arsenic?
Orpiment
How is arsenopyrite marketed?
Arsenopyrite isn't really "marketed" as such. This mineral, FeAsS, is the principle ore of arsenic. It is recovered by mining, and it is usually processed on or near the site to recover the arsenic. (It is almost always cheaper to process any ore near the mine because transportation costs associated with moving ore are high.)
What is arsenic found in?
Inorganic arsenic compounds are found in soils, sediments, and groundwater. These compounds occur either naturally or as a result of mining, ore smelting, and industrial use of arsenic. Organic arsenic compounds are found mainly in fish and shellfish.
What is an arsenopyrite?
An arsenopyrite is a silvery-grey ore of arsenic - a mixed arsenide and sulphide of iron, chemical formula FeAsS.
What do the substances names nickel and colbalt mean?
Oddly enough, both substances take their names from 18th century German words meaning "demon", or "goblin".In the case of nickel, it was derived from the word Kupfernickel ("copper demon"), which was a name miners gave to a copper-colored ore of nickel, supposedly because, although copper-colored, the ore didn't actually yield any copper."Cobalt" comes from Kobold ("household goblin"), again, a name miners gave to an ore (of silver, cobalt, arsenic, and sulfur, allegedly because out-gassing of arsenic and sulfur from the ore made the miners sick.
