Rubidium oxide is sometimes very challenging to store in the chemistry laboratory. This compound reacts with moisture in the air and is converted to rubidium hydroxide. If a bottle of rubidium oxide is left on the shelf too long, it gradually absorbs moisture from the humidity in the laboratory. Eventually, the bottle cracks and spills the rubidium hydroxide that has been produced. Choose the unbalanced chemical equation for this process. RbOH(s)→ Rb₂O(s) + H₂O(g) Rb₂O(s)→ RbOH(s) + H₂O(g) RbOH(s) + H₂O(g) → Rb₂O(s) Rb₂O(s) + H₂O(g) → RbOH(s)
