Answer:

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, we must ensure that the number of electrons gained equals the number of electrons lost in the reduction and oxidation half reaction equations respectively.

Having that in mind;

Oxidation half reaction;

2Rb(s) ---->2Rb^+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation;

Sr^2+(aq) + 2e---> Sr(s)

Hence, the overall redox reaction equation is;

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)
