About Strontium Hydroxide
- Strontium Hydroxide is a base.
- Aqueous Strontium Hydroxide is an alkali.
- Strontium Hydroxide is held together by ionic bonds.
- Strontium Hydroxide has a giant ionic structure.
- Strontium Hydroxide reacts with acids to produce a Strontium salt:
- Hydrochloric Acid + Strontium Hydroxide → Strontium Chloride + Water
- 2HCl + Sr(OH)2 → SrCl2 + H2O
- Sulphuric Acid + Strontium Hydroxide → Strontium Sulphate + Water
- H2SO4 + Sr(OH)2 → SrSO4 + 2H2O
- Nitric Acid + Strontium Hydroxide → Strontium Nitrate + Water
- 2HNO3 + Sr(OH)2 → Sr(NO3)2 + H2O
