Answer:
0.040M RbOH
Explanation:
The reaction of Rb with water is:
2Rb + 2H₂O → 2RbOH + H₂
As 2 moles of rubidium produce 2 moles of rubidium hydroxide, we need to find the moles of rubidium added. With these moles and the volume we can find molar concentration of RbOH as follows:
<em>Moles Rb = Moles RbOH -Molar mass Rb = 85.4678g)</em>
8.5g * (1mol / 85.4678g) = 0.099 moles RbOH
As 1dm³ = 1L, the volume in liters is 2.5L
That means molarity is:
0.099 moles RbOH / 2.5L =
58
Acceleration due to gravity is reduced to half its value on the earth's surface at an altitude of 2.65×106 m
