Preparation

edit

Praseodymium arsenate be prepared by reacting sodium arsenate (Na3AsO4) and praseodymium chloride (PrCl3) in a solution:[2]

Na3AsO4 + PrCl3 → 3 NaCl + PrAsO4

The product can also be obtained by reacting praseodymium(III,IV) oxide and diammonium hydrogen arsenate in hot dilute nitric acid in a stoichiometric ratio.[1]
