Explain

\(\mathrm{RbOH}\) (Rubidium hydroxide) is an alkali, which is a type of base. The other substances are not bases. \(\mathrm{HCOOH}\) (Formic acid) is an acid, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}\) (Carbonic acid) is also an acid, and \(\mathrm{NaNO}_{3}\) (Sodium nitrate) is a salt, not a base.
