Not really, it is dangerous. As a brittle metal, tiny particles of beryllium dust are liberated when the surface is scratched. This particles, if inhaled, cause a disease called berylliosis, which is bad. Beryllium can also get in the body as tiny slivers. Working with beryllium requires special manufacturing techniques to form parts, so there is no legitimate use for the average metal shop anyhow.

How do you find the molar mass of beryllium oxide?

To find the molar mass of beryllium oxide (BeO), you will need to determine the individual molar masses of beryllium (Be) and oxygen (O) from the periodic table and then add them together. The molar mass of Be is about 9 g/mol and the molar mass of O is about 16 g/mol. When you add them together, you'll find that the molar mass of BeO is approximately 25 g/mol.
