Recall the general solubility rules for ionic compounds in water, which state that most sodium (Na⁺) salts are soluble regardless of the anion they are paired with.
Identify the cation and anion in Na₂HAsO₄: the cation is sodium (Na⁺), and the anion is hydrogen arsenate (HAsO₄²⁻).
Apply the solubility rule that all sodium salts are soluble in water, meaning Na₂HAsO₄ should dissolve readily in water.
Consider the temperature effect: increasing temperature generally increases solubility for most solids, so at 60 °C, Na₂HAsO₄ is expected to be soluble or even more soluble than at room temperature.
Conclude that based on these rules and temperature considerations, Na₂HAsO₄ is soluble in water at 60 °C.
