RUBIDIUM OZONIDE RbO3

Properties Rubidium ozonide RbO3:

The orange-red. More stable than the KO3, decomposes when heated. Ion has the structure of (Rb+) (O3-). Reacts vigorously with water, acids, sulfur. It is a strong oxidizing agent.


Obtaining rubidium ozonide RbO3:

RbO2 + O3 = RbO3 + O2 (normal temp.).

4 RbOH + 4O3 = 4 RbO3 + O2 + 2H2O (20° C)


Сhemical reactions with rubidium ozonide RbO3:

2 RbO3 = 2 RbO2 + O2 (60—90° C).

4 RbO3 + 2 H2O = 4RbOH + 5 O2↑ (admixture of radicals OH).

4 RbO3 + 4HCl (diluted, cold) = 4 RbCl + 5O2↑ + 2H2O,

2 RbO3 + 4HCl (diluted, hot) = 2 RbCl + Cl2↑ + 2O2↑ + 2H2O.

4 RbO3 + H2O (moisture) + 3 CO2 = Rb2CO3 + 2 RbHCO3 + 5O2 (normal temp.).

6 RbO3 + 5 S = Rb2SO4 + 2 Rb2S2O7 (40—50° C).

RbO3 + NH3 (liquid) ↔ NH4O3 + RbNH2 (-50° C).
