Etymology of PYROARSENIC ACID
The word "pyroarsenic acid" is primarily composed of two terms: "pyro-" and "arsenic acid".
1. "Pyro-": In the context of chemical compounds, "pyro-" typically indicates "involving fire" or "produced by heating". It comes from the Greek word "πυρός" (pyros), meaning "fire". The prefix "pyro-" is commonly used in chemistry to refer to high-temperature reactions, compounds formed by heating, or substances that release heat when reacting.
2. "Arsenic acid": Arsenic acid (H₃AsO₄) is a compound composed of arsenic, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is an inorganic acid commonly used in chemical reactions and industrial processes.
