Question

While idly tossing some keys from hand to hand one day, your friend Ahmad (an expert chemist) says this: "Group 2A metal hydrides react with water to produce hydroxides and hydrogen gas." Using Ahmad's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction. Be sure your chemical equation is balanced!

RbH(s)+ H2O(l) →

Answer 1

RbH(s)+ H2O(l) → RbOH + H2

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction is;

RbH(s)+ H2O(l) → Product

From Ahmad's statement, we know that the product of he reaction is going to be an Hydroxide (-OH) and hydrogen gas (H2)

So we have;

RbH(s)+ H2O(l) → RbOH + H2
