Equations for the preparation of the soluble salt rubidium chloride

word equation:

hydrochloric acid + rubidium hydroxide ==> rubidium chloride + water

symbol equations: with and without state symbols

preparation of rubidium chloride from rubidium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid soluble salt preparation from soluble base alkali acid neutralisationHCl(aq) + RbOH(aq) ==> RbCl(aq) + H2O(l)

HCl + RbOH ==> RbCl + H2O

Details of method for making soluble salts from an alkali solution and mineral acid

Comments:

A very expensive method, much easier to mine salt or extract from evaporated seawater!

Rubidium chloride is used as a petrol/gasoline additive to increase-improve the fuel's octane number and has several medical applications for circadian rhythm and cell chemistry
