Answer:
Rubidium is used in vacuum tubes as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes. It is also used in the manufacture of photocells and in special glasses. Since it is easily ionized, it might be used as a propellant in ion engines on spacecraft.

Answer:
The water in the hydrate (referred to as "water of hydration") can be removed by heating the hydrate. When all hydrating water is removed, the material is said to be anhydrous and is referred to as an anhydrate.
Explanation:
Answer:
Energy added to solid water will turn it into liquid water; add energy into liquid water and it will be turned into water vapor.
Explanation:
Adding energy is basically adding heat; the more heat, the more excited the molecules of H2O gets. In solid water, the molecules aren't really moving because they don't have a lot of energy, so it is solid. In liquid water (which is water in room temperature), it has a medium amount of energy; the molecules aren't stuck together but it isn't completely dispersed, so it is in liquid form. However, in water vapor, the energy becomes very high and the molecules are excited. The hydrogen bonds holding the molecules together break and the water is released as a vapor.
1. Convert the number of moles to number of particles (divide 6.41 by 6.022 x 10^23)
2. K2O dissociates into three ions (2 potassium ions and 1 oxide ion), so multiply the result from step 1 by 3 to get your answer
