GPT-4o mini
When rubidium (Rb) reacts with sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), it produces rubidium hydrogen sulfate (RbHSO₄) and hydrogen gas (H₂). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:
\[
2 \, \text{Rb} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2 \, \text{RbHSO}_4 + \text{H}_2
\]
This shows that two moles of rubidium react with one mole of sulfuric acid to produce two moles of rubidium hydrogen sulfate and one mole of hydrogen gas.
\[
2 \, \text{Rb} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 2 \, \text{RbHSO}_4 + \text{H}_2
\]
This shows that two moles of rubidium react with one mole of sulfuric acid to produce two moles of rubidium hydrogen sulfate and one mole of hydrogen gas.
