Arsenic(III) oxide also know as Arsenic Oxide, functions as an amphoteric oxide, serving as a fundamental ingredient in the creation of various arsenic-based compounds. Its applications encompass its role as a foundational material in the production of forestry products, its contribution to colorless glass manufacturing, and its significance in the electronics industry. When arsenic trioxide is combined with copper(II) acetate, it produces Copper Acetoarsenite, a potent rodenticide.
