Sulfarsazene is a chemical compound with the formula C₁₈H₁₂AsN₆Na₃O₈S, a metal indicator.^[1]

Uses

Sulfarsazene is used as a metal indicator for the spectrophotometric and titrimetric determination of Pb²⁺ ions at pH 9.8–10.0 and Zn²⁺ at pH 9.3–9.6 (color transition from orange-pink to lemon yellow).^[2]^[3]^[4]

Physical properties

Sulfarsazene is soluble in water, easily soluble in an aqueous solution of sodium tetraborate, slightly soluble in 95% alcohol, practically insoluble in acetone, chloroform, benzene.
