Properties: SrCO3
2.1 Physical properties of SrCO3
State: solid at room temperature.
Color: white.
Odor: odorless.
PH level: it is an organic substance, therefore it does not have a PH level.
2.2 Chemical Properties of SrCO3: SrCO3 is insoluble in water but soluble in acid. When heated, it decomposes into Strontium oxide and CO2 gas. -
