Rubidium Silver Iodide - Density?

Factual Questions
1

Are there any doper chemists or materials experts that could tell me the density of rubidium silver iodide (RbAg4I5).

This compound is prepared by mixing stoichiometric quantities of Silver Iodide and Rubidium Iodide such that RbI + 4AgI=RbAg4I5.

I can find the densities of AgI and RbI separately and I know the mass of RbAg4I5, but I don’t know the volume of 1g of this material.

I’ve trawled the net and can’t find much of any use. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need this information so that I can evaporate a quantity of this material in an experiment I am conducting.

Check out the Merck manual? I’ve often found it to be a wonderful source for that kind of information.

Why do you need to know the volume for that kind of experiment?

Looks like the numbers are buried at the bottom of this text for films and crystals

Thanks for your answers, I’ve got it sorted now.

Nava in anser to your question, I only wanted the volume to calculate the density as I knew the mass. But thanks to both of you I no longer need that.

It’s taking me a while to sort out all this molar mass malarky, as I’m a physicist who hasn’t done chemistry since O’ level 22 years ago.

Hopefully I can evaporate the material after the weekend now.

Thanks again.
