So, today we will conduct interesting and very expensive experiments with rubidium.
Rubidium is an active alkali metal, which is in the first group of the periodic table of chemical elements, below potassium.
Due to its extremely high activity rubidium is stored in glass ampoules under vacuum or inert atmosphere such as argon.
In the vial you can observe the shiny surface of rubidium.
Before we conduct our experiments with rubidium, it must be removed from the ampoule, however, the ampoule must of course be first opened to do that.
In order to open it, I took a file and scratched the ampoule to get a more flatten crack later on. Then I hit the ampoule with a hammer, and now it’s open.
However, our rubidium is still trapped inside! To finally get it out of there, I used the small melting point of rubidium which is 39 degrees Celsius.
I heated the vial with the rubidium inside with a torch and poured off the resulted molten metal into the jar of kerosene. Because kerosene has water and oxygen impurities in it, rubidium oxidized very rapidly even in kerosene and becomes coated with a layer of peroxides.
Rubidium is an incredibly soft metal, it’s hardness resembles a butter at room temperature.
Now let's conduct some chemical reactions with it.
To get started, simply cut off a piece of rubidium and leave it on a napkin. Because of the oxidation with oxygen, rubidium melts by the heat of the reaction.
In this case rubidium may become self-igniting, setting flames to everything surrounding it. If you take a large piece of rubidium and leave it on a wooden surface, it will then firstly melt, and later self-ignite burning with a beautiful violet flame because of the rubidium ions. In water, rubidium behaves much more dangerously than potassium. If you throw even a small piece of rubidium in water, an explosion will immediately occur, because rubidium is much denser than water and has a very low melting point, and it is also a very active metal. Large pieces of rubidium vigorously explode in water. I had also conducted a reaction with rubidium and sand, similar to lithium. However, rubidium simply melted on the hot sand, without any combustion. Rubidium still reacted with the sand to form an amorphous silicon from the silicon dioxide that the sand consists of. A beautiful effect was when rubidium was somewhat absorbed in the sand to form a shiny metal surface. Even more interesting was the reaction of rubidium with sulfur. At first I just set fire to the rubidium with sulfur, and the reaction was pretty rough. Then I have melted the sulfur and added pieces of rubidium to it, rubidium burned in the sulfur to form beautiful sparks of molten metal. Finally, to remove the leftover rubidium from the jar, I filled it with alcohol. In this case rubidium immediately ignited the alcohol because of the violent reaction, but then the reaction became more calm. Also, due to the strong alkaline environment the alcohol was colored orange. Nowadays the metal rubidium has little practical application primarily because of the high cost and few places to buy it. The cost of the ampoule with rubidium that I experimented with was around 500 euros. Usually rubidium and its compounds are used in organic synthesis, optics and nuclear industry.Also, vapours of rubidium are used in the high-precision rubidium clocks that are of extremely low error.

I like this guy he doesn't just tell you it's dangerous he shows you
Languange spelling and grammatical accuracy are two different things
Unlike electroboom, who tells us it's dangerous and actually shows why (by risking his life)
@@lorenzoraffaele who gives a shit
Go watch nile red you'll like him more
You are right! 👍
I would like to see at least one useful application too. 🤩
i love how he handles a highly reactive metal on flammable carpet
Wait till he tastes it
Wait till he sells it in the black market
Right I also wonder that
You all haters , he just trying to teach about these metal all you guys do is hate on him just be cuz he knows lol
It's not flammable carpet it's napkin piece🤭
Though rubidium is more expensive than gold, he just threw it everywhere for the video. Huge respect to you. Your experiments are useful for many students to learn and to have a good future. Thank you so much🤗
Something tells me this fellow makes pretty good money at his day job. 🤔
Exactly I was thinking that, the fact he's basically throwing and ruining money.
Same
Everyone who complains about the way this guy talks should get their ears checked.
English isn't my native language yet I understand him perfectly fine.
Shadow Lurker because your deftness transcended theirs
Shadow Lurker I’m from iceland and I think he can’t talk english at all
Exactly
I am Indian And I can understand his accent as well as the American/European accent easily.
I just turned on the captions 😁
Rubidium - Metal, that is More Expensive than GOLD!
Lets fucking burn it and throw it in water
Howw
he got it from a university for experimentation, read the description
Well what else is he going to do with it?. He stated that there are few practical uses for it
he did say it was self-igniting
Pffft at least he isn't burning iPhones.
Him: Rubidium is more expensive than gold
Also him: *yeets Rubidium into water*
hehehe... kaboom!
And that’s why gold is one of the best forms of physical money next to silver. It’s stable and rare compared to other materials.
@Sanat R platinum is least reactive that is why is more expensive than gold but I don't know whether Platinum is expensive than rubidium if someone knows the answers be free to reply me

My teachers made me to feel that chemistry is a boaring subject but your videos had inspired me to study it and also it gives me ideas for thinking a next level.
Thank you
This is the type of content I live for! These videos help me in remembering elements properties easily for school .
What an expensive experiment did you make! Great work.
one can not put a price on the enjoyment of burning and blowing up stuff
Ok how much is a kg of Rubidium and why is it expensive when it is 90ppm crustal abundance. I dont get it, 90ppm is 90g/t
Ad revenue should cover it at 3m views.
I don't think it would be a good idea playing with rubidium around a carpet
*****
It always does so. Makes everything more kinky :)
True
it's also good for setting the whole camp on fire.
Could be a wool carpet.

Playing with a highly flammable metal ? Put it on a napkin on a carpet of course ! Genius x)
He has many carpets.
+Slurpy The Cat my thought exactly
rest in peace faithful carpet
if it were me, i would have thrown the entire ampule into a bathtub just to watch the explosion.

check out caesium flames they are in my opinion, better looking
i know right, the flames reminds me of a powerful villian using its power against the superhereos.
4:40 they looks like mini skulls, which is really scary for an element
yeah , I can see alien faces 😂😂
It’s the cameras reflection
The periodic table sure did get a lot bigger since i last saw it when i was a student...
how old are you?
Imari Kurumi yep
you must be old lol
lol...last time i saw it is 8 years ago, it sure get bigger 😅

The people who don't even know there is an option for caption in TH-cam are complaining about your accent. By the way, your accent is exactly okay.
lol, I'm starting to feel worse and worse for your carpet
Don't worry, he has many more!
That's right, he has Rubidium that is more expensive than gold to burn O_O Literally he has money to burn.
Gold isn't very expensive anymore.
Idk how light rubidium is, but that looked looked larger than say an ounce of gold does, and for about half the cost. He must have gotten low k gold before....
It is worth a shitload relative to most compounds, but diamonds aren't expensive anymore compared to things like other elements we can now harness and use. Also antimatter, dat price tag. The market size of gold and diamonds is why they are still recognized as being valuable materials.
And people say lighting fireworks is like burning money
Kids after finding Rubidium:
It's free real estate
Chemistry was not my cup of tea in school...but somehow the way this guy is playing with all sorts of metals/chemicals it captures my attention and makes chemical reactions look magic...so looking back in time...I bet that if I had him be my teacher in school I would be a chemist today....for sure...thank you Thoisoi for showing us the magic of chemistry....
I like the way he risks his camera's life just to show us how a chemical reacts. Great work brother..
One of the uses of Rubidium was in Rubidium Vapour Magnetometers. A small piece of enriched Rubidium is placed in a quartz bubble with a krypton buffer gas. A small RF coil (~100MHz) excited first the krypton, and as the temp increases along with vapour pressure a beautiful magenta glow appears.
Using a polarising filter and ocli filter the light went through an AC heated second ampule at ~320K and using a lens to focus up the light onto a small solar cell the signal was processed and the larmor frequency digitised. It was used to look at the solar wind effects and a variety of fast ripples from 40 seconds to a few minutes. Lots of other kit went with it like Helmholtz coils. Strangely the two elements popped up in radiochemistry, lung at used Rb81as the mother product of Kr81 13 sec half-life ~140kev gamma. The short half life allowed for a quick use of a second standard Tc99 for circulation check. Suspect new ways are used for these studies.
this guy must be very rich cuase i just saw some guy wasting all his "more expensive than GOLD"metal.
Read desc, a university gave it to him
do you see university giving out that same amount of golds that easily?it was just a joke,nothing else.
why would a university gave away such a material just to test if it burn on atmosphere and water?
500euro for a positive public rep for the university is a good deal.
well he is a celebrity. he is borat
Rubidium is expensive than gold and you used it for us!!!!!! Dedicated to chemistry lovers..... thank you.♥️❤️

That reminds me of this idea I had when I was 10 years old, a stupidity medal to be awarded to someone that demonstrates the most phenomenal act of stupidity of the year, and the medal would be made out of pure neptunium. And of course you'd have to be profoundly stupid to wear it since it will give you radiation poisoning and cancer.

veranet99 Printer ink is more expensive than human blood (genuinely) - That is of course if you go via the legal route.
Human blood costs around 50p/ml to the tax payer. Printer ink far exceeds that

Next time buy some francium and throw it in water 😈😈😈
Shreyas Misra Yep, I think that there are few hundreds of Francium atoms at every moment on the Earth. Also it's radioactive so... meh. Try Cesium then!
There are only a few grams of Francium on the planet at the time and it decays almost immediately. Caesium though, that's a different matter.
the rarest element known to mankind is Astatine, which is destroyed by it's own radioactive heat.
Oh no..
To get technical I'd say the rarest ones are those that aren't naturally occurring.

I just watched your latest video where you set your lab on fire.

half life 3 confirmed?
bro this channel is OP .... unlike other he lets u to see all metals experiment and he does not say that the element is dangerous , expensive or blah blah blah he just show u
for anyone that doesn't know the left most column of the periodic table is made of metals that react very strongly with water. the lower they are in the column the worse they get. some of which are not only ILLEGAL to obtain, but radioactive. why anyone would mess with them i do not know. he may have messed with the most reactive legal one. (i can't remember which one is the first illegal)
I see your chemistry knowledge came from Brainiac videos. -_-
no. school actually but i barely remember much of it. just that some are illegal and radio active
ps3 wolvrine14 How can a chemical element be illegal? What does it mean?
The only alkali metal element with no stable isotopes is francium, but its halflife is less than half an hour so we never made more than few tens of atoms which is useless for anything other than basic physics research.
That's what i heard back when i learned about them. I know it was the last 2 they mentioned but not if there was more.. our teacher showed us a video and the last one the guy could show in only a maybe pill sized sample exploded and i believe it broke the bathtub they dropped it in.
ps3 wolvrine14 That was Brainiac and it was a staged performance with a stick of dynamite. It makes me sad to see how such lies creep into the educational system by teachers which are plainly dumb.
No, chemical elements are not illegal. Possession of certain is. For example it's illegal in all countries, for regular people to possess plutonium or its compounds.
Possession of alkali metals isn't illegal in most countries, but it depends on where one stores them.
500 euros for that???.. you must be rich to destroy it like that.
also it seems that Safety is NOT your number 1 priority. 😂😂
