[edit] synthesis question
Are you sure about reacting SrCO3 with Nitric Acid? Because last time I checked Nitric Acid was a bi-product of a method to make Strontium Carbonate.

No, the reaction with nitric acid makes sense. Carbonates are weak bases and react with acids. The reaction would yield strontium nitrate and release CO2. For cathode ray tubes they use sodium carbonate which yields sodium nitrate and strontium carbonate. I'm not sure about the reaction involving carbonic acid since the reaction looks reversible. I did some googling but couldn't find an example of that reaction. 1.1.1 05:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- I found the reaction again, but it wasn't quite what I thought. It turns out to be an equalibrium reaction that is similar to Calcium bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate. I am not sure what I was thinking because you are right about carbonates. LoyalSoldier 20:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
