Rubidiumnitrat

Rubidium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula RbNO3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Rubidium nitrate is commonly used in the production of glass and ceramics, where it acts as a flux, lowering the melting point of the materials and improving their workability. It is also used in the manufacture of fireworks and pyrotechnics, where it contributes to the production of red and violet colors. In the field of analytical chemistry, rubidium nitrate is used as a standard for atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. It is also used in the synthesis of other rubidium compounds. Rubidium nitrate is generally considered to be non-toxic, but like all chemicals, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. In large quantities, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
