Nerve Repair. Injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the lingual nerve are relatively uncommon events. However, there are certain routine surgical and non-surgical procedures that have the potential, albeit small, for injuring these neural structures.
Rubidium hydroxide is a chemical compound. It is composed of rubidium and hydroxide ions. Its chemical formula is RbOH. It is a very strong base. It can eat through glass. It is made by dissolving rubidium oxide in water. It causes immediate burns to the skin.
Thus, Rb 2 O reacts exothermically with water to form rubidium hydroxide. Rb 2 O + H 2 O â 2 RbOH. So reactive is Rb 2 O toward water that it is considered hygroscopic. Upon heating, Rb 2 O reacts with hydrogen to rubidium hydroxide and rubidium hydride: Rb 2 O + H 2 â RbOH + RbH Synthesis. For laboratory use, RbOH is usually used in place of the oxide.
