How much would you pay for amounts of sodium metal (if you are an amateur and want it for fun or experiments)?
820304
For credible people, in the past I had let go several grams of sodium for just few bucks or even for free esp. for those curious collectors or grad students needed small quantity of the metal for many purposes (from as simple as drying their ether to reduce some novel organic compunds).\n\nIf others remind u of how dangerous something is, that means people are still care about the well-being of others (including u)... without that the world would just collapse in a matter of nights if not sooner.\n\nPeace!!

It could be from $20 to about $50. depending on your health, smarts, looks etc.

between 500 and 1000 a piece, depending where you are

A gift that keeps on giving try 1 oz silver ingots at your local coin store they come with all kinds of pictures minted on them like Garfield and others. or gram gold ingots. It may sound expensive but silver is 12$ an oz or so and people think you really put yourself out. Ask for silver trade units they don't really have collector value just the price of the metal itself that way you don't kick yourself in the a s s for giving something valuable away. Gold is at about 25$ a gram or so. these gifts are really high with coolness factor without giving much up.

The size of the metal would be dependant on many factors such as plane design and location of the explosion to name a few.\n\nthe problem with elemental rare earth metals is they are very reactive with water, making handling them in such a manner virtually impossible.\n\nAs far as the realative reactivity, the ammount of energy released can be calculated from the Gibbs free energy for each reaction.\n\nFor the reaction of sodium with water at room tempreture\n\nSodium with enough water would release 9260 KJ per pound of sodium while Potassium would release 2350 KJ per pound.\n\nI would suspect that at least 10 pounds of sodium to do any significant damage to a plane and 50 pounds of potassium.\n\nThis is a very unreasonable amount, although the cost would be less than 1000 dollars for this ammount of sodium, there are very few places that a large quantity could be obtained.\n\nAdditionally, sodium is so reactive, that I do not think that anyone could ever get it onto a plane before it blew. Lastly, that large of an ammount of sodium would fill a carry on bag, and would never get thru even the worst of TSA screeners.

Think about it as if you were buying it.  How much would you be willing to pay for it?  Don't get outrageous with the prices because most everything is probably used!  Good luck and have a lot of fun with it.  I am having one pretty soon!

About $33 dollars per 100 grams

Lump sodium in rock oil 691$ for 250g.

About 9.50 dollar, if you buy 2 do-it-at-home tests (follow the link below)

I would suggest purchasing this fine model listed in the below source, if you have the money to do so (the painted plastic one, first one listed).  It is a bit expensive, but it is really the best I know of since it actually shows all the atoms and is quite accurate.  It comes with instructions and even tells you how to paint it.  I actually teach with this exact model.  If you don't have money to purchase that model, it is possible to make it yourself using your own materials, but I would use the photos of this model as a guide to how to go about doing it.  It really depends on what you need it for and how detailed you need it to be.

In my research lab we use electronic grade Fluka 99.9999% and it runs list price : 100G 72.60 \n\nSo about 7 bucks a gram....but this is really really pure stuff....\n\nYou can also get 1kg of the stuff for about 275.  But its only 99% pure.

How much are you willing to pay?

Write up the results and submit them to Scientific American.  If they accept it, they will pay you a lot of money.

Very, ridiculously expensive equipment. Why do you think it costs so much to buy it on the black market? Why do you think that people are killed over it every day?\n\nDon't bother, and don't get involved in it in any way. Not in making, selling, buying, or taking it. If you want to be a success in science, trying working on one of the treatments for cancer in biochemistry, creating a safety feature on a car in engineering, or working in the department of energy if you want to do chemistry.

I might be interested. How much money would be in my end of the deal?

probably no more than ten bucks
