Question

Write an equation that represents the action in water of rubidium hydroxide as an Arrhenius base.

Answer 1

Answer:

RbOH  → Rb⁺ +  OH⁻

As the hydroxide can gives the OH⁻ in water, it is considered as an Arrhenius's base

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory states that a compound is considered a base, if the compound can generate OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution.

Our compound is the RbOH.

When it is put in water, i can dissociate like this:

RbOH  → Rb⁺ +  OH⁻

As the hydroxide can gives the OH⁻ in water, it is considered as an Arrhenius's base
