Definition of RbOH
RbOH, also known as Rubidium Hydroxide, is a chemical compound belonging to the alkali metal hydroxides group. In English, RbOH is called Rubidium hydroxide. The atomic mass of RbOH is 102.475 u. A RbOH molecule consists of one Rubidium atom (Rb), one Oxygen atom (O), and one Hydrogen atom (H). The ion structure of RbOH is Rb+ and OH-. -
Properties of RbOH
2.1 Physical properties of RbOH
State: RbOH is a solid, white, odorless substance. The PH level of RbOH is very high (>14), indicating that it has strong alkalinity.
2.2 Chemical properties of RbOH
RbOH is capable of reacting with various other substances such as acids, metals, non-metals, and salts. -
Common chemical equations of RbOH
RbOH can react with acids to produce salts and water, for example: RbOH + HCl -> RbCl + H2O.
The general formula for this reaction is: RbOH + HA -> RbA + H2O, where HA is a strong acid. -
Synthesis of RbOH
4.1 Laboratory synthesis of RbOH
In the laboratory, RbOH can be synthesized by reacting Rubidium with water: 2Rb + 2H2O -> 2RbOH + H2↑.
4.2 Industrial synthesis of RbOH
On an industrial scale, RbOH is typically produced by reacting Rubidium with water at high temperatures.
