Should be stored separately with acids, food chemicals, do not mix storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials for leakage. The synthetic methods Rubidium fluoride is synthesized in several ways. 1. Rubidium hydroxide is used to react with hydrofluoric acid: RbOH + HF → RbF + H2O 2. Rubidium carbonate is neutralized with hydrofluoric acid: Rb2CO3 + 2HF → 2RbF + H2O + CO2 In a platinum dish, rubidium carbonate was reacted with a concentrated solution of excessive hydrofluoric acid, evaporated and dried. Hot to red, so that the residue melt into a completely transparent melt, after cooling to a white flake. Can also be melted into a rod, stored in a dryer, because it is easy to moisture, so often need to repeat melting. It is also possible to soften rubidium chloride solution with silver fluoride to rubidium fluoride and silver chloride. Excess silver salt passes into H2S to remove. After filtration, the filtrate was evaporated in platinum dish to nearly get RbF crystal. 3. Another method is to react rubidium metal directly with fluorine gas, but because rubidium metal is expensive, it is the least commonly used method. In addition, rubidium and halogens react violently and burn: 2Rb + F2 → 2RbF [3] usage Used as reagent, toothpaste, etc.
