Time Out

[Ticknall19]

Last one.......

Chemical salt containing a poisonous element (8) From the letter already to hand it has to be arsenate or arsenite. I have checked both but can't make up my mind. I bet there are some chemists out there who can put me out of my misery, and tell me?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't know 'Time Out' had a crossword. What is the prize? Is it the same prize every week?

Ray - start your own question rather than appending it to a Time Out crossword question? This will have flashed through the latest postings and usually no-one will spot your request.

1d) dehumidify
10a) careenages
4a) klinostat
2d) epoxy
4d) keeps in
8d) aqua regis

[bibblebub]

8d should be aqua regia

To all: I will go with arsenate. Thanks very much. Ray Nolan - I think this must be a different 'Time Out'; it's the name of the crossword, rather than the amgazine.
