About Rubidium Carbonate

Rubidium Carbonate is a base.

Rubidium Carbonate reacts with acids to produce a Rubidium salt, Carbon Dioxide and Water.

Hydrochloric Acid + Rubidium Carbonate → Rubidium Chloride + Carbon Dioxide + Water

2HCl + Rb₂CO₃ → 2RbCl + CO₂ + H₂O

Sulphuric Acid + Rubidium Carbonate → Rubidium Sulphate + Carbon Dioxide + Water

H₂SO₄ + Rb₂CO₃ → Rb₂SO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

Nitric Acid + Rubidium Carbonate → Rubidium Nitrate + Carbon Dioxide + Water

2HNO₃ + Rb₂CO₃ → 2RbNO₃< + CO₂ + H₂O
