Strontium Acetate Hemihydrate

Strontium acetate hemihydrate is a chemical compound with the formula Sr(CH3COO)2·0.5H2O. It is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and has a high melting point. Strontium acetate hemihydrate is commonly used in the chemical industry as a source of strontium ions.

Strontium acetate hemihydrate can be produced by reacting strontium carbonate with acetic acid:

SrCO3 + 2CH3COOH → Sr(CH3COO)2 + CO2 + H2O

Strontium acetate hemihydrate has several applications, including:

In the production of fireworks and flares, as a colorant to produce a bright red color.
In the production of glass and ceramics, as a source of strontium ions to improve the refractive index and mechanical properties of the materials.
In the production of other strontium compounds, such as strontium titanate and strontium chromate.
In the production of catalysts, as strontium acetate can be used to promote certain chemical reactions.
It is important to handle strontium acetate hemihydrate with care, as it is a toxic substance that can cause skin and eye irritation and is harmful if ingested or inhaled. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn when handling this compound. It should also be stored away from acids and other incompatible materials.
