Rubidium bromate, RbBrO3, is the rubidium salt of bromic acid.

Preparation

Rubidium bromate is usually prepared by the electrolysis of rubidium bromide solution at 65–70 °C, in the presence of dichromate and using anodes of lead dioxide or iron and cathodes of stainless steel or copper.[2] The rubidium bromate can be crystallized by cooling the electrolyte, and any unoxidized bromide recycled.[3]

Rubidium bromate can also be prepared by reacting bromine with rubidium hydroxide solution at 50–90 °C.[4]

3 Br2 + 3 OH BrO3 + 5 Br + 3 H+
