- Definition of As2Se5
As2Se5, also known as Arsenic Pentaselenide. In English, As2Se5 is also referred to as Arsenic Pentaselenide. It has a molar mass of 593.60 g/mol. The atomic mass of As2Se5 is determined through the total mass of the atoms in a molecule of As2Se5. The As2Se5 molecule consists of 2 As (Arsenic) atoms and 5 Se (Selenium) atoms. It also involves the formation of As3+ and Se2- ions.
- Properties of As2Se5
2.1 Physical properties of As2Se5: As2Se5 is solid, black, odorless, and its pH can’t be measured due to its solid state.
2.2 Chemical properties of As2Se5: As2Se5 is very easily oxidized in the air, forming As2O5 and SeO2. It also reacts with sulfur to form As2S5.
