There are eight strong bases. Explain what happens when rubidium hydroxide (RbOH), one of the strong bases, is dissolved in water.

• A. Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) dissociates completely in water yielding a solution of Rb⁺ ions and H⁺ ions.
• B. Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) dissociates completely in water yielding a solution of Rb⁺ ions and H₃O⁺ ions.
• C. Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) dissociates completely in water yielding a solution of Rb⁺ ions and OH⁻ ions.
• D. Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) does not dissociate completely in water yielding a solution of Rb⁺ ions, H⁺ ions, and OH⁻ ions.

Answer: (C)
