Rubidium nitrate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

solid (data sheet from a supplier

Uses

Rubidium nitrate used in infrared radiation producing pyrotechnic compositions as a colorant and an oxidizer. It is also used as a raw material for preparation of other rubidium compounds and rubidium metal, for manufacture of catalysts and in scintillation counters. It is rarely used in fireworks to produce a red-violet colour.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Synthesis

Rubidium nitrate can be made by reacting rubidium hydroxide or rubidium carbonate with nitric acid.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the nitrate from hot water (0.25mL/g) by cooling to room temperature.
