Rubidium hydrogen sulfate is the rubidium salt of sulfuric acid. It has the formula RbHSO₄.

Synthesis

It may be synthesised with water and a stoichiometric amount of rubidium disulfate. Reaction takes place where there is no humidity:[3]

{\ce {{Rb2S2O7}+ H2O -> 2RbHSO_4}}

There is another method of creation. It is similar to the synthesis of sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate. This reaction requires rubidium chloride and a little bit of warm sulfuric acid. Some hydrogen chloride is also produced during the reaction.

{\ce {{H2SO4}+ RbCl -> {RbHSO4}+ HCl}}

Properties

It is a hygroscopic compound. It has a monoclinic crystal structure, its structure is P2₁/n. Dimensions of the unit cell are: a = 1440 pm, b = 462.2 pm, c = 1436 pm and β = 118.0°. Its crystals are isomorphs with ammonium hydrogen sulfate crystals.[4]

Its standard enthalpy is −1166 kJ/mol.[5] During its dissolution in water, there is 15.62 kJ/mol energy produced.[6]

After warming up it decomposes to rubidium disulfate and water:[7]

{\ce {2RbHSO4 -> Rb2S2O7 + H2O}}

Like potassium and caesium, rubidium has another hydrogen sulfate compound as well: Rb₃H(SO₄)₂.
