Hi everyone,
I know this is a vague question, but is anyone familiar with yttrium reactivity toward arsenic compounds in solution?
I.e. under what conditions would yttrium arsenide form, if at all?  Would arsenate or arsenite ions tend to complex with it, or precipitate?

Thanks for your *delete me*

Yttrium react similar like Lanthan. So there will be precipitate of YAsO₃ or YAsO₄. There is a Landoldt -Börnstein compound:

Thanks for the reply.  In that second link do you know what the pL value means, or the Beta value?  I'm guessing this precipitate would only form at high pH?
