what is the chemical formula for the base rubidium hydroxide?
rboh
rubidium hydroxide









































rubidium hydroxide (+1) (rboh) is a strong basic chemical and alkali that is formed by one rubidium ion and one hydroxide ion.









































rubidium hydroxide does not appear in nature. however it can be obtained by synthesis from rubidium oxide. in addition, rubidium hydroxide is commercially available in form of an aqueous solution from a few suppliers.









































rubidium hydroxide is highly corrosive, therefore suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye-face protection are required when handling this material.









































section::::synthesis.









































rubidium hydroxide can be synthesized from rubidium oxide by dissolving the oxide into water:
rubidium hydroxide
rubidium hydroxide is also commercially available from a certain number of chemical suppliers in form of 50% or 99% aqueous solution at multiples of 5 g.









































section::::uses.









































rubidium hydroxide is rarely used in industrial processes because potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide can perform nearly all the industrial functions of rubidium hydroxide in a less violent and hence safer way.









































rubidium hydroxide is used in scientific research. it is often used sparingly to prevent waste of the expensive element rubidium. for example, it is used to give fireworks a violet color in place of pure rubidium.
